I've made this both with purchased "Caribbean" spice mix and with my own spices, and love it every time. And I'm sure you could use fresh okra, I just keep frozen on hand. * "Caribbean" seasoning (contains dehydrated ginger, brown mustard seeds, onion powder, allspice, garlic, paprika, thyme, fennel, red and black pepper) - or use 1 teaspoon each grated ginger and minced fresh garlic and about a quarter teaspoon of all the rest of the spices

Simmer everything together, covered, with a little extra water if needed, for half an hour.
