"This is a delicious way to dress up green beans. The first time you make this I would recommend going easy on the allspice, you can always add more before serving, as I did...." See more"

"This recipe was great, except there was a little too much allspice. Just half the amount in the original recipe and you will love the results!..." See more"

"All spice is kind of overpowering and yucky for green beans. This recipe would be better without the allspice. Great way to prepare green beans though. Great texture and consitancy...." See more"
