German Green Beans

Serves 8 as Side.

Think German Potato Salad except with fresh snap beans. These are also good cold, kind of like dill green beans.

• 4 c fresh green
  
• 6 slices bacon
  
• 1 onion, chopped
  
• 1 T granulated sugar
  
• 1/2 c cider vinegar
  
• salt and pepper to taste
  

Cook fresh beans in a little salted water until tender.

Drain beans; reserve about 3/4 cup of the cooking or can liquid. Cut up bacon and sauté with onion until bacon is cooked and onion has lightly browned. Add bean liquid and cook until liquid has reduced to 1/4 cup. Add next 4 ingredients and the cooked beans. Heat through and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serves 4.

I usually add some red or yellow bellpepper to this for a little color.
