2 tbsp. butter
2 c. chicken broth or stock

2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. summer savory flakes
1/2 tsp. parsley flakes
1 tsp. sugar

Clean beans well and cut into bite size pieces. Turn into a large saucepan with nutmeg, butter, chicken broth and water. Cover and simmer 20 minutes until beans are crisp-tender.
