Ingredients:

Serving

2 lbs fresh green beans, trimmed (can use frozen beans that have been thawed to room temperature)
2 tbsp butter
1 sweet onion, sliced (such as walla walla , vidalia , etc.)
4 tbsp dried cranberries
1 orange , juice and zest of, medium
2 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp tangerine- pomegranate juice (such as pomwonderful, or a blend of cranberry and orange juices, read *note)

Directions:

*NOTE: I used 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed tangerine juice, 1 tablespoon pomegranate syrup and 1 teaspoon sugar in place of the PomWonderful.
In a pot, steam green beans until fork-tender, 5 minutes for small green beans but as long as 15 minutes for larger green beans.
In a large skillet, melt butter; add sliced onions and cook over low heat until translucent. Turn up heat slightly and caramelize onions until golden, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
Add dried cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, and tangerine-pomegranate juice (or substitution). Simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Just before serving, add green beans; toss to coat and heat through.
