      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.
