Glazed Green Beans

3/4 pound green beans
2 tablespoons butter

Trim the beans and cut into 2-inch lengths. Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the beans and time 4 to 5 minutes. Test beans for tenderness. Continue cooking a minute or so longer if necessary. Drain and rinse with cold water until cooled. Pat dry with paper towels.

Put butter in pan and melt. Add balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Stir until sugar has melted and mixture has thickened. Add beans and peppers, tossing a few minutes until hot and glazed.
