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

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs fresh green beans, trimmed (can use frozen beans that have been thawed to room temperature)
2 tablespoons butter
1 sweet onion, sliced (such as Walla Walla, Vidalia, etc.)
4 tablespoons dried cranberries
1 orange, juice and zest of, medium
2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons tangerine- pomegranate juice (such as PomWonderful, or a blend of cranberry and orange juices, read *NOTE)

Steps:

  • *NOTE: I used 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed tangerine juice, 1 tablespoon pomegranate syrup and 1 teaspoon sugar in place of the PomWonderful.
  • 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.
  • Add dried cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, and tangerine-pomegranate juice (or substitution). Simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Just before serving, add green beans; toss to coat and heat through.

These green beans were a hit at my dinner party! The balsamic glaze was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, and the cranberries added a festive touch. I'll definitely be making these again.
