Apricot Glazed Beans

By krystallondon

Green beans are often served plain; this recipe is a nice change of pace. It's a good side dish to serve with simple broiled chicken or pork chops.

Ingredients

• 1 lb green beans
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 shallot, minced
• 1/4 cup apricot nectar
• 1/3 cup gluten-free apricot preserves
• 2 tsp fresh chopped rosemary leaves
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Pinch white pepper
