Boiled Okra Or Gumbo Recipe

The long seed pod is the edible part of this plant, it can be canned or

dried for winter use. If dried let it soak an hour or so before using.

To cook, cut the pods in rings, boil them in salted water until tender

which will be in about twenty minutes. Add butter, salt, pepper and

cream. Thin muslin bags are sometimes made to hold the whole pods

without breaking. After boiling tender, pour them out, season with

butter, salt and pepper and bake for five minutes.
