To cook fresh green beans:
Wash and trim green beans. Cut or snap into desired length. Place in a small saucepan and fill with enough water to cover beans. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain beans and set aside.
For extra flavor, add ¼ cup dried cranberries to the skillet along with the green beans.

Me too! Love this recipe! I tested this out with a teenage class, and everyone thought it was tasty. Even students who didn't like green beans tasted it, and liked it.
