    about 40 dollars a bushel. i bought it at the farmers market in columbia. pretty hard to find small okra now tho.

    the mexicans were selling it for 20 a bushel but it was all the size of a banana. what the hell do you do with an okra that big?

    Probably the same thing you do with a banana; throw that shit in the trash.

    If I was doing a bushel, I would have used my 2 qt jars! Them would have been good gifts come Christmas this year.

    I bet you were tired of canning after all that, I can't imagin how warm it was in that kitchen either! I try not to do maore than 8 qts at a time.

    i like pint jars and even do some half pint jars.... i like em smaller because im the worst at throwin a jar of okra in the cooler when i head to the lake or river and after the trip letting the all the ice melt and forgetting to take the left over beer and and stuff out until i use the cooler again. i would waste too much if i used quarts.


    and yes, the kitchen was hotter than hell..... so a few alcoholic beverages were consumed to "stay cool"

    chuck showed me a "cold pickle" that actually works good....clean jars...50/50 with white/cider vinegar....clean peppers, put in jar, cover with vinegar, put on lids...Had some he said were 2 years old that were still great...Made some like that last year that was pretty good in just 2 weeks after I put em up....Ones I done today was white pepper, red seeds, fresh garlic, corriander, cider n while vinegar....boiled n sealed....
