Drying CFB

Yes leave them on the vines until dry. Shell them and leave on a flat tray for several days to make sure they are quite dry. I store mine in paper bags and have never had a problem with mould. To use them, soak overnight in lots of water. The next day change the water and bring to the boil. Boil hard for 10mins and then simmer until tender then use in whatever recipe you are making. The 10minute boil will destroy the toxins and should be done to all dry beans.
