This recipe was very simple and delicious. And it looked beautiful on the table. I followed it to the tee, and it came out Perfect. It had a great citrus flavor and by adding the salt after the cooking process, we seasoned to taste and did oversalt. It made a serving for three in my house, with only a little leftover ( that is how much we loved it!. The leftovers weren't enough for another side, so I warmed them up with a can of summer corn - Yum - O!

I really like this recipe but I tweaked it a bit to increase the orange so it was a lighter dish on my family's thanksgiving menu.

First-I used mandarin oranges instead of regular ones (a bit harder to work with but they're sweeter which I think works better
Second- I used the whole orange. Zested the peel, then cooked the peel with the green beans and used the juice as the cooking liquid.

Everyone liked it, and you can use as much or as little as you like. Also-don't expect the orange to be strong-it's an essence, with a great aftertaste which makes the dish very light.

The one change I made was instead of using pieces of the orange peel, I grated the orange over the dish which gave it more of the orange flavor. I made it as a side dish for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. Nice light and fresh side dish.

I followed the recipe precisely, but I didn't taste much orange flavor. Otherwise, it was pretty easy.

this tasted like boiled green beans. no flavor of orange at all. which really threw me b/c I read the reviews before I made it and followed the recipe exactly. Next time I will make an orange reduction sauce

What a great change for green beans. I was reluctant to try this, thinking that the orange would over power the beans....it did not. It turned out perfectly. I will make again!!!!

Overall, really great, however the orange I feel had little effect and a bit too much butter recommended, but other then that my favorite dish for thanksgiving!

Frequently make this as a side to roast turkey or chicken.
