How To Cook Shuck Beans ( Leather Britches ) Appalachian Cooking!

[@RonRay]

I always enjoy your videos because you don't put on airs, but just be yourselves: good Christian, country folks.

[@thomaslcarpenter2105]

Both of my grandmother's used to make these. Neither ever heard of a dehydrator more than 60 years ago. They each would string the beans on thread and hang them all over the house on the curtain rods to: to dry. Occasionally if the weather cooperated they would spread the beans on a window screen in the sun to dry, of course bringing them into the house at night so as to avoid the morning dew. Your video brings back long forgotten memories. Thank you!.

My Mom used to cook shuck beans , l love them. This plate looks so good,but I want corn bread with mine. I got to have my no sugar corn bread with anything called a bean.I hope the family is well ,God bless ,and stay warm.

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

I’m like you I like just plain cornbread not sweet. I love it with any meal!

[@justinrad5073]

I have never had these but im definitely gonna have to try them. I really love your channel. Hope to see more videos like this. God bless you and your family. ✝️🇺🇸

[@marythornsberry6486]

Mmm - Mmmm Good ole down home cooking!!!! I have strung up many of em!!!!

[@kathygarber9407]

Ain’t had shuck beans in forever ! Yum , yum ,be blessed and favored always 🙏🏽❤️

[@fredtate6795]

I have eaten all kinds of beans but never a dried green beans the look good.

[@larrygonzales821]

We would put up green beans and potatoes, pickles of course, and fresh corn every year. But would set a few shucky beans too. Yes they tasted better.

[@debboyea9567]

Yummy! Makes me hungry!

[@debraboyea7776]

That looks so good Jared!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing with us Jared, looks like some mighty fine vittles !! Hope everyone around your neck of the woods is safe and healthy, be blessed. Fred.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻

[@preachersdayoff]

That's good groceries right there!

[@jimharris4740]

Love the beans. Better than fresh to me

[@shereew214]

They look great. I love pickled beets with shuck beans. Instead of soaking them overnight I usually simmer them for about half an hour then drain the water and add fresh water to cook them. Mom called that shifting the water. Thanks for the video!

[@kyhunter9682]

Looks like a great meal

[@newdayfarm9463]

Those look good! I’m gonna try this.

[@richardroyles1423]

Yes please. God bless. Kansas

[@romainejayne1811]

Oh, yeah me too! And what did ya call it? Wasn't it the "Green Britches Depot?" Or something like that? LOL

[@royboggs3849]

I’ve found that if u want to eat shuck beans (any kind really….) on Saturday, they should be cooked on a Wed. or Thursday - then just keep’em in the fridge ‘til ready to reheat & eat. Much better flavor & not watery! God bless all of you crazy Goforth’s! 😂😂

[@kaystephens5365]

I am so glad to see you show people how to dry and cook these. My husband's family is from Greenup County KY and we love the flavor of these beans so much more than just plain greenbeans

[@justjan147]

Goodness those look delicious! There's nothing better than beans cooked with some kind of ham! Thanks for sharing, hope y'all are doing well and starting off the new year with good health. Hope you're granddad is doing much better, he's still in our prayers. God bless! 🙏🏻🌻

[@lisaelder2676]

I've never heard of shuck beans before. Thanks for sharing your culture and traditions. A friend from Canada.

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

Thanks! You’ll have to try them and start a new trend in Canada! God Bless

[@apparitionappalachian4591]

I just did this last year I’m waiting for Easter to break them out 😋

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

They are awesome!!

[@1972BRJ]

Watching this makes me want to do this again this year! My grandpa spoke of his mother storing beans like this, he called them leather britches, he said she would cook them practically all day on a wood cook stove. With the canning supplies being in question, we may need to resort to storing beans this way again. Thanks for the video!!

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

I’ve thought the same thing. I’m hoping to dry a lot of them next season!

[@joeyhardin1288]

Thanks for the recipe. Spent Christmas Eve until Jan 6 quarantined at home with the wife and The Covid. No taste so I ate very little. God Bless, stay safe.

[@jerimathews3215]

Preparing greasy beans as we speak ...stringing them up the old fashioned way. Thank you for sharing #MyOldKentuckianWays

[@christinesmith4706]

Looks delicious

[@MT-tu8qd]

Looked real good....

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Jared- my, them beans look good! You can’t hardly cook any kind of beans without some kind of pork flavoring. Take care and God bless y’all

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

Thank ya! Pork makes anything good!!

[@vickiebarnett2001]

Nothing any better! We call them hay beans or shuck beans! ❤️

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you for the recipe and update on how things are going there in Kentucky ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you and your family maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas .

[@IceLynne]

That looks really good. I think I'll store my greasy beans that way this year. I have a dehydrator but I just moved to a real dry place and so I might try the hanging method and save myself on the electric bill.

[@btpearce]

Never had them , I bet they are great :-)

[@kogerism]

Really enjoyed this episode. Reminded me of my grandma, threading up the same beans, but hers would already have the hull turned brown. Hard to beat beans with some meat off of a ham bone! Keep the good stuff coming.

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

Mine are great from using the dehydrater, they turn much browner on a string!

[@kogerism]

@@FlutyLickHomestead Yep,. yours looked like they would taste better, may try to raise some this summer.

[@MamaTtoB-P]

Man those look good.

[@fitzpreacherfarm6826]

I’ll have to try this. Thanks for sharing

[@tonywoolums9673]

Love the video.....I don’t know if it’s a hand me down or not, but that is a pretty fork!

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

I think it was in a big pile of unmatched silverware my grandma gave us when we started keeping house

[@steakandeggscynthiar.7714]

I have never eaten shuck beans. Heard about them most of my life, but I always thought they had to be made with a certain green beans. Thank you for showing us how you cook yours. I may try to dry some green beans and try them.

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

I’ve made them with lots of different beans! Easy to do and very tasty!!

[@steakandeggscynthiar.7714]

@@FlutyLickHomestead It's now on my bucket list. Thank you.

[@mrsdomino4196]

Wondering if you have rendered your lard yet? Oh my what I would give for fresh warm cracklings. God Bless.

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

Yes. Made about 4 gallon!

[@pamp5797]

What kind of beans did you use? I grew blUe lake bush beans. Will they be the same?

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

I use some fall beans for these but I’ve used about every kind of green bean and always turned out good

[@vickydyar1856]

My family called them leather britches. Do you all eat pickled corn and pickled beans? Enjoyed the video as always

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

We love pickled corn I don’t care for the pickled beans though!

[@shilohfarm7248]

These look delicious ! Did you order your beans or can you get them at the co-op ? I would like to try these . Thanks for your great videos , we really enjoy them.

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

These I bought at a local seed swap! You can make these from any kind of bean just have to dry them: These roger Newsome pole beans do have a great taste and will dry them again next year

[@mr.wilson2127]

Hey i oicked some of my blue lake bush beans and they been in the refrigerator for 3dsys. Can I use them for shucky beans?

[@lynnwendeln1190]

What kind of green beens are they?

[@reneesouther6076]

I’m desperate, I have canned green beans with a little bit of rust on top. Can I turn these into leather britches?

[@FlutyLickHomestead]

I don’t think you could do leather britches now that they are canned

[@randyl4092]

Ok now I'm hungry and you didn't leave your address and where's the drive tru window Lol

[@gregorhay123]
