Dehydrated Runner Beans

[Jillyreeves]

I have frozen as many Runner Beans as space will allow and so my thought turned to how else I could preserve them for winter use.

I was thinking about slicing them finely and dehydrating them for use over winter in soups and stews. Has anyone tried this and was it successful?

My mum used to salt them in big pots. I suppose in a way that would slowly dehydrate them as the salt would draw out the moisture. They have to be rinsed well before use (obviously )

I've not got dehydrator so I'd thought about making runner bean chutney.

This was discussed last year, dunno if it helps

I've just posted on another thread about my good experiences with salting runner beans last year. They're not quite as good as fresh but still very welcome in January
