Apricot-Glazed Green Beans

By Joan_Z

Can be made ahead 1 day. To serve, cook bacon as directed. Warm beans in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss with bacon before serving.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs. Green beams
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 6 slices bacon
• 1/4 cup Olive Oil
• 4 cloves garlic - thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup apricot jam
• 3 Tbsp white wine vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 Tbsp salt, then the green beans and cook until just tender - 3-4 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to cool.

Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crisp - 6-8 minutes; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Let cool, then break into pieces.

Wipe out skillet and heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic begins to brown, about 2 minutes.

Stir in the jam, vinegar and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Add green beans and toss to coat. Fold in the bacon.
