Putting Up Okra...for frying

We've been on the receiving end of a lot of fresh okra in the last few weeks.  My mother in law told me how she puts up her okra and The Dish Washer loves Mama's okra, so I thought I would do it just the same.

Wash all okra.  While still wet, cut into small slices.  In a large bowl, coat with cornmeal.  Once coated lay in single layer on a cookie sheet covered in wax paper.  Allow to flash freeze.  Once frozen, place in ziploc bag and then it is ready for frying when you are.

And the cornmeal sticks because it's still wet?

Yep! And it doesn't have to be soaking wet because the okra is naturally sticky on the inside anyway. Just leave it damp from the washing!
