FRESH GREEN BEANS, SWEET & SOUR image

This wonderful recipe was clipped out of a cooking magazine in the early 80's. MMMmm, fresh green beans, so bright and crisp, flavored with bacon, onion,and cider vinegar. A real taste treat. This is one of my favorite side dishes, and have made it many times.
