A friend of mine - an acomplished gardener used to store his runner

Did your friend cook or part cook them (if any)before putting them in
brine?
Too late of course for this year but its something to try next year.
Some people would rightly say that its maybe not economical, but I love
mucking about with this type of thing an cut off a bit of the carbon
footprint if poss.(complicate subject!)
Every little helps.

Thanks for the idea.

I couldn't be sure I remember seeing jars full of runner beans and I think
they were raw, my wife confirms my thoughts.

If you try this methof I wish you every success. To have a long supply of
runner beans is certainly worth the effort.

In the meantime I'm going to se what Mt Google has to say.
