Shortly before the start of the 2017 NBA Finals, James’ Los Angeles’ home was spray-painted with “n—–” across the gate — an act some of James’ detractors pegged a hoax. Earlier this year, President Donald Trump publicly questioned LeBron’s intelligence. There’s Fox Sports analyst Clay Travis, who did the same this week after James’ Instagram story. Conservative media personality/Fox host Laura Ingraham‘s “shut up and dribble” segment is impetus for an entire documentary for James.

Taught to preserve by her father (who was taught by his mother, who was taught by her mother), Louisiana-born James feels like she’s communing with her ancestors through Cajun Mountain Girl Creations. Based in Nederland, James uses as much local produce as she can get—Platteville’s Miller Farms is a regular source—to craft her spicy wares. “Everything I pickle contains jalapeño, garlic, and a little cayenne,” James says. “It’s how I get a ton of flavor and a little kick.” As long as she keeps the pH levels below CFA limits (a food-safety requirement), James can pickle just about any vegetable or fruit she likes—and she does.
