One of reviews is as follows:
A very tasty marinated green bean, these would be great in any cold salad; and would make a great green bean for marinated 3 bean salad. A really good picnic item. I only had enough mixture to do 4 pints of beans, but I do have a tendency to rapid simmer this type of recipe, and possibly I simmered away some of the mixture; so I would caution anyone to be sure and simmer slowly.
