Ingredients

2 cans green beans cut
1 can wax beans cut
1 can red kidney beans
1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
5 small onions or 2-3 large ones
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup wine vinegar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon tarragon
1/2 teaspoon basil
1 dash black pepper

Directions

Drain juice from all cut beans and save.

Drain kidney beans and garbanzos; rinse (do not retain juice).

Mix kidney beans and garbanzos.

Peel onions, slice, and separate rings.

To layer: 1/4 of the onions; 1/3 of the green beans; 1/3 of the wax beans; 1/3 of the kidney/garbanzos.

Repeat.

Shake from side to side to settle.

Marinade: Of the retained juice, you should have a little more than 2 cups (if not, add water).

Add sugar and vinegars. (Can use all wine vinegar instead of 1/2 wine and 1/2 cider vinegar.)

Rub spices in hand to break up; stir into juice.

Pour marinade over beans.

If uncovered, make additional liquid (1/2 water to 1/4 sugar and 1/4 vinegar).

Set for 2 days.

Can also add cucumbers, avocado, sweet bell pepper and/or pimento.
