Green & Yellow Bean Relish image

Condiment suitable for hotdogs, hamburgers, sausage. My neighbour asked if I could make her some bean relish because she remembered her mother making it. Unfortunately, she didn't have a recipe and I couldn't find one on the Internet, so I looked at the ingredients on a jar of sweet cucumber relish and this is what I came up with...
