1 qt. home-canned green beans (do not drain)
1 tsp. bacon grease
1 tsp. sugar
salt to taste

Boil together on high heat for several minutes. Reduce heat and cook until most liquid is gone. Add salt only after tasting, since most home-canned beans have already been salted. Serve hot, as the last thing taken out of the pots before you sit down to eat.
