Green Beans With Dried Cranberry-Balsamic Glaze image

I would think by now the French's Company would be sweating bullets over this particular recipe. Brussel sprouts for the green beans is another option. From deliciouslivingmag.com. *Update*: I subbed dried tart (not sweet) cherries for the cranberries and loved the flavor! Give it a go! cg 04-28-08

2 tablespoons butter
1 sweet onion, sliced (such as Walla Walla, Vidalia, etc.)

  • In a pot, steam green beans until fork-tender, 5 minutes for small green beans but as long as 15 minutes for larger green beans.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter; add sliced onions and cook over low heat until translucent. Turn up heat slightly and caramelize onions until golden, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
