Spiced Blackberry Sauce
6oz fresh or frozen blackberries
1 large lemon, juice and zest
3/4C sugar
1/2C Basalmic vinegar
1/4C cider vinegar
2-4 whole cloves (optional)
1-2 whole star anise (optional)
1/4t salt
1T corn starch mixed with 2T cold water (optional)
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
Boil for about 5 minutes and lightly mash berries with a large spoon.
Maintain a fast simmer for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
This makes a thin sauce, if a thicker sauce is desired add corn starch slurry and boil for a minute or two while stirring well.
Without the cloves and star anise this is a very sweet sauce, adding them will spice it up.
Use 2 cloves and 1 star anise if you only want a little spice.

Green Beans with Bacon, Onion and Garlic
Cook up a pound of bacon.
I like to do mine in one big weave and then chop it into largish pieces.
Quarter and saute two sweet onions in the bacon grease.
Add in the green beans, bacon and chopped garlic.
Spice with salt and red pepper.
Cook till beans are just tender.
