Salad Beans in Vinegar and Sugar

4 servings

Ingredients

• 500 g Salad beans
• 375 g Sugar
• 0.38 liter Wine vinegar
• 4 g Whole cinnamon

Instructions

1. Use seedless salad beans and string them.
2. To keep their beautiful green color, par-boil them in a copper kettle of boiling water and lay them on a cloth to drain.
3. Bring sugar and vinegar to a froth, add the cinnamon and beans, and cook for a little while longer.
4. After cooling, fill into glasses.
5. After a few days, reduce the vinegar further, pour it cold over the beans, and seal the glasses as usual.
