After picking my first green beans one year, I wanted to try a new dish. I began to play. The results were so yummy, I couldn’t stop eating, so I picked more. Guess what happened?” —Merry Graham, Newhall, California

This is the best green bean recipe I have ever had!! Made this for Easter and doubled the recipe. It was all gone! I also used the steamer green beans. Definately will make again and again!

I have made these several times, and they are great. I like the sweet flavor that the maple syrup gives them.

What a delight to have green beens taste so flavorable with such a wonderful aroma! My husband loved them and I would make them again in a flash!
