Finally something before my time. Apparently this fed a lot of families during the depression. Will feed alot. I make it during the summer with beans from the garden and freeze them. Great way to use up the surplus.
Ingredients:
1 -2 lb green beans (fresh or frozen thawed)
1 lb pork, ends
salt
1 cup vinegar
1/2 onion
water, to cover
Directions:
1. Break beans in half and put in large kettle.
2. Add rest of ingredients.
3. Bring to full boil.
4. Cover half way, turn heat down to simmer, forget it for about 3 hours.
5. Scoop out with slotted spoon or serve with broth.
6. I use spoon, dh takes the broth.
