Pickled Okra - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. okra, 2 1/2 to 3 inches long
crushed red pepper flakes
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/2 c. cider vinegar
1 1/2 c. water
2 Tbsp. salt
1/2 tsp. whole dill seed
1/2 tsp. whole mustard seed
1/2 tsp. whole celery seed

Preparation

Wash the okra, trim off their ends.
Pack them tightly and vertically into hot, sterilized half-pint canning jars.
(Pack the okra snugly to prevent them from floating and possibly spoiling the seal.)
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes and a garlic clove to each jar.
