Almond & Cherry Green Beans

Everyone has their own holiday green bean recipe.  This flavor combination is one of my favorites! 

Almond & Cherry Green Beans

2 T coconut oil

1/4 cup almonds, chopped

1/2 lb thin green beans (haricot vert)

1/4 cup dried tart cherries, naturally sweetened

1/2 T pure maple syrup

pinch salt and pepper

Heat coconut oil in pan. Saute almonds and green beans for about five minutes or until green beans are at desired tenderness, stirring often.  (I like mine to be a little crisp.) Add cherries, maple syrup, salt and pepper.
