Grandma's County Style Snap Beans

Country Style Snaps (Grandma Smith made these when the green beans were ready for picking. Great Grandma Pitts also made them.)
Break green beans into short pieces and wash thoroughly. You will need four quarts of beans. Place in a Dutch oven and cover with cold water; add salt to taste and a pinch of sugar. In a separate pan, cook 1/4-onion in a little butter until golden. Add cooked onion to bean pan. Cook bean mixture with a small hunk of salt pork, bacon or ham until the beans are done. Serve with warm bread and butter. A small amount of garlic can be added while cooking, if desired. (Manti Temple cafeteria workers still make these.)
