My mother came up with this mouth-watering, family-favorite recipe that we still celebrate at holiday get-together meals!
-- Mary Graham, Barneveld, Wisconsin

You Will Need
3 pounds fresh green beans
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1-1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard
Dash salt
1 tablespoon butter

What to Do
1. Place beans in a Dutch oven and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain and set aside.

2. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, water, mustard and salt until smooth. In the Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the mustard mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Return beans to the pan; heat through.

Serves: 12
