Sweet and Sour Beans

First attempt at making Annette's Sweet and Sour Beans!

Another set of pantry staples - except for the beans, which I purchased for this occasion.

Boiling the beans

Melting the sugar

The sugar darkens quickly, so keep an eye on it!

Making the sauce using reserved bean water, vinegar, and salt/pepper

Add the beans to the skillet - stir to coat.

Finished product!

I was really happy with how these turned out!  I admit I reduced the sugar by half, because I don't like sweet vegetables all that much.  With half the sugar, it was the perfect balance of tangy and sweet.  Give it a try and let me know what you think!
