Recipe: Green Beans with Almonds

This is a simple recipe to dress up a casual meal. If you have canned beans, use about 4 cans, or 1 quart of home-processed beans.

Ingredients:
1 16-ounce package frozen green beans
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Toast almonds (place on cookie/baking sheet and roast at 350 degrees F. for several minutes until just barely lightly browned. Combine water, honey and lemon juice. In a medium sized baking dish, add all ingredients and bake for 45 minutes until beans are tender.

Alternative: Can add all ingredients to a large sheet of aluminum foil, fold over, and grill until beans are tender. Yum!
