Recipe - Grannys Butter Beans

2 pound Butter beans
5 Thin Slices salt pork
3 tablespoon Fried bacon grease
1 Stick butter

This is an old family recipe handed down through the generations. No other
butter beans taste quite as good and nobody's technique is quite like my
granny's. After a good night's rest, early in the morning bring 3 quarts of
water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add 5 slices of salt pork. While
this is boiling, sort about 2 pounds of good beans and wash well. Rest. Add
beans to boiling water, stirring constantly, until water returns to full
rolling boil. Lower heat and cover loosely so that steam from boiling beans
will escape. Now, rest for 15 minutes. Repeat this process of stirring and
resting adding water as necessary, until beans are tender. When the beans
are tender add 3 tablespoons of fried bacon grease. Stir to keep beans from
sticking. Add stick of butter. Rest after hard day of bean cooking.
