Yield: 6 - 8 pints

3 pounds fresh small okra pods
6 garlic cloves
hot pepper pods as you wish (6 for fanatic, 4 for convinced, 2 - 3 for undecided)
6 teaspoons dill seeds
6 teaspoons celery seed
1 quart white wine vinegar
1/2 cup salt (not iodized)
1 cup sugar

Pack washed okra into 6 pint jars (leave stem ends). Divide garlic, dill, celery seed, and pepper among jars. Put vinegar, water, salt, and sugar into big saucepan; bring to boil. Pour into jars, to within 1/2 inch of top. Seal jars; place in hot water bath (jars must be covered) 7–8 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Suggestion: Chopped peeled baby turnips and celery, with some of these okra pods sliced on a bed of lettuce hearts, with lemony mayonnaise make a delicious and unforgettable salad in mid-winter.
