Sweet-Sour Green Beans
This is a recipe my mother served to family and friends–it has a very nice blend of sweet and sour flavors. I often take this dish to picnics and church dinners as it can be served warm or cold...delicious either way.—Claire Moser, Middletown, Maryland 2 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 15 min.
