Beans in a water bath are another type of preserve that can be prepared during the summer and kept for the winter.
Ideally, get beans from a farmer to ensure a genuinely organic product, but if not, they can still be bought fresh from the supermarket.
I divided the beans to boil into not very large jars because I wanted smaller portions to avoid having to open large jars and having leftovers.
I used borlotti beans for this process, but it can also be done with Spanish white beans or other types of beans.
Obviously, if they are small beans, like cannellini, they should boil a bit less.
If you try any of my recipes, send me photos, and I will publish them on my page with your name.
Let’s prepare this recipe together to enjoy during the winter and let me know if you liked it!!!

Preparation of Beans in a Water Bath
Let’s start preparing our beans by shelling them and collecting them all in a bowl.
Once all the pods are opened, cover the beans with water and leave them like this for about an hour, then drain and rinse them well.
Prepare jars that fit our needs, previously sterilized.
Fill the jars with beans up to two fingers below the jar’s rim, then cover them with water and seal them well.
Place the filled and tightly sealed jars of beans in one or more large pots, cover them with water, and bring them to a boil with a lid on.
Boil for one hour from when the water starts boiling.
After boiling, turn off the heat and let them cool in the pot.
I usually do this in the evening, allowing them to cool overnight in the pot, with the lid slightly off, and the next morning I take them out of the pot and store them in the pantry.
At this point, our beans in a water bath are ready!
