GREEN BEANS GERMAN STYLE
My mother-in-law introduced me to this quick down-home dish almost 50 years ago when I was a new bride. The tender green beans are topped with diced bacon and a classic sweet-sour glaze. Guests always ask for the recipe. -Vivian Steers, Central Islip, New York

GERMAN GREEN BEANS
This is not one of my family recipes although it might have been. I found it in a library cookbook some time ago, and it intrigued me enough I had to try it. The sweet-and-sour flavors will remind you of good old German potato salad. This is a unusual and good side-dish. Try serving it with cold cuts.
