     Title: Pickled Okra
Categories: Appetizers, Vegetables, Cajun
     Yield: 8 pints

     5 lb Okra
     8 c  Vinegar
     1 c  Water
   1/2 c  Kosher salt
     8 cl Garlic; peeled
     8    Dried or fresh chiles; or
          - more

 Wash okra, leaving top cam and removing excess stem. Combine
 vinegar, water, and kosher salt. Bring to a boil. Drop okra into
 boiling mixture (and chiles if you're using fresh chiles) and bring
 to a rolling boil. Place in hot, pint-sized sterilized jars. Add
 one clove of garlic and, if your're using dried instead of gresh
 chiles, one or more dried hot chiles (depending oh how hot you want
 them) to each jar. Seal while hot.

 Let stand 8 - 10 weeks before serving.

 Hell of a lot cheaper than buying them.
