Place all ingredients, except green beans and peppers, in medium saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Place green beans and peppers in shallow dish and pour boiling marinade over top. Cover with plastic wrap. Let green beans, peppers and marinade cool, then place all ingredients into a plastic freezer bag and refrigerate several hours or until ready to serve, turning bag occasionally to distribute marinade. When ready, pour beans and marinade into a container.
