Preparation: Wash the beans, string and slice them, and boil until tender in boiling salt water. Drain the water off and pack them into the jars. Boil the water, vinegar, sugar, cinnamon and cloves a few minutes, skim and pour it over the beans boiling hot. Close the jars tightly and place them upside down to test the covers and rubbers.
Remarks: The syrup should have quite a sweet-sour taste. The jars must be well filled with the beans.
