Josie....I would love a green beans recipe.

They are coming out of my ears:rotfl:

Hope you have some special days with DS before he flies out. Will you fly out to visit?

Thank you TM, he and husband are staying with us for the final week before they go, so hope to do lots of memorable things. Thank goodness for skype so I can at least 'see' him often. More important than ever to save pennies now as saving up to visit him. I am so proud of him, he has got a job as maths teacher in the best grammer school in Brisbane, first ever skype interview and job application for Australia. He's only 25.

Here is the recipe TM

Runner Bean Pickle
Makes about 4lb.(2kg)

An excellent way of preserving those runner beans that seem to come all at once

Ingredients:
• 2.5 lbs.(about 1kg) runner beans
• 1.5 pints (900ml) distilled vinegar
• 1.5 lbs. (675g) onions
• 10 oz. (275g) demerera sugar
• 1 level tbsp. turmeric
• 2 level tbsps. dry mustard powder
•2 level tbsps. cornflour

Cooking Instructions:
1. String the beans and slice diagonally into three quarter inch (2cm.) pieces
2. Peel and slice the onions
3. Pour one pint (600ml.) of the vinegar into a pan, add the runner beans and onions, then cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until just tender
4. Blend the cornflour, turmeric and mustard into a paste with a little of the remaining vinegar
5. Add to the pan with the sugar and remaining vinegar
6. Bring to the boil then reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally
7. Spoon into sterilised jars and cover with vinegar proof lids.

Enjoy:)
