You simply string them and don't cut the beans. Sew through them with a heavy thread and hang till dry, Grandma used to put them on the porch or attic, out of the weather. Then they'd go into paper sacks which still hung in the attic. Then when they were put into soup or whatever, had a stronger taste.

I have heard people speak of Leather Britches and knew that they were dried beans but never knew how they did them. I suppose you could make them in the dehydrator also, which I do have in the basement. I will have to check on that also. This board is great for learning new things! Ann
