Pickled Okra

I made some homemade pickled okra. Added habanero peppers for a fire flavor... Here's the recipe:

GARLIC OKRA PICKLES

3 lbs. fresh whole okra pods, 3 to 4 in.

3 c. water

1 c. white vinegar

1/4 c. pickling salt

2 c.cloves garlic, minced

2 or 3 Chile peppers

Thoroughly wash the fresh okra; drain well. Pack the okra pods into hot clean pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space.

In a sauce pan combine the water, white vinegar, pickling salt and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to boiling. Pour the hot liquid over the okra pods in the jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space.

Prepare jar lids according to the manufacturers directions. Wipe jar rims, adjust lids. Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. (Start timing when the water returns to boiling.) 4 pints
