BRING a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Add the beans and blanch them for 2 minutes. Immediately remove the beans from the water and add them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain.

MIX honey, vinegar & mustard in small bowl and set aside.

COOK onions and garlic in a 12-inch skillet with 3 tablespoons butter until softened (3 to 5 minutes). Add green beans, salt and pepper; cook until crispy tender (8 to 10 minutes). Stir in honey, vinegar, mustard mixture; continue cooking until sauce thickens and beans are well coated (2 to 3 minutes).
