Okra and Tomatoes

Freeze it or Can it!! The easiest canning meal yet!

1 qt sliced okra
4 tomatoes, chopped
1 onion diced
1 green bell pepper diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp basil
1 tsp thyme
cayenne pepper to taste
2 tsp salt

Saute onion and garlic in a little olive oil.  Add green pepper, and cook 3-4 minutes.  All all the other ingredients.  Cook till soft, about 10 minutes.
Freeze or Can.
For canning: process in a pressure canner at 11 lbs for 30 minutes for pints and 35 minutes for quarts.

Last night, after we put Cam to sleep, Steve and I were able to can a double batch of Okra and Tomatoes and make a large batch of Yellow Squash/Sweet Potato Baby Food in 2.5 hours - GO TEAM!

Okra and Tomatoes for Dinner: Steve and I ate this a lot this past year heated over rice. But to make it an even grander meal, serve with some smoked sausage or chorizo and you will have yourself a southern/Cajun delicacy.
