      2 cn Green beans, cut
      1 cn Wax beans, cut
      1 cn Red kidney beans
      1 cn Garbanzos
      5 sm Onions (or 2-3 big ones)

  Drain juice from all cut beans and save.  Drain 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.  "Taste to make sure both
  sourer and sweeter than you want the end product."
  
  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.
