Pickled Okra

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs fresh okra

½ tsp red chili flake (optional)

3 sprigs dill, oregano, or thyme

2 cups water

1 cup vinegar

2 tbsp salt

Directions:

1. Divide the fresh okra evenly between 3 sterile (1 pint) jars. Place one third of the chili flake, and one herb sprig into each jar.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the water, vinegar and salt. Bring to a rolling boil. Pour over the ingredients in the jars, and seal in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. Refrigerate jars after opening.
