Vinegar Beans

I have made a dish similar to this before. It is an interesting combination of tart, sweet and salt.

The bacon is definitely the salty part. And of course, bacon. . .

The vinegar gives the sauce a very tart taste.

And of course, sugar. Obviously that adds sweetness.

The end result is a sweet and sour sauce.

This sauce blends nicely with the beans both in flavor and in texture.

I am not sure I would call it a salad, but it is a great side dish.
