- Comments
- I don't know if I would call this a recipe
exactly. It is just how I've learned to cook
butter beans. And since I'm from the South I
guess this would be considered southern
butterbeans. First you need to pick the
butterbeans, hull them, and then blanch them. To
blanch, you boil the beans until it just becomes
easy to pop them out of the skin. Then place
them in cold water and repeat until beans are
cooled. You can now freeze them (about 2 cups
per bag) for a year.
