Pickled Okra - Dee Dee's image

This easy recipe was shared with me at least 40 years ago. It's definitely a keeper! Fun to eat right out of the jar. Or serve as a side or with a sandwich.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 to 7 lb okra
6 c white vinegar
6 c water
1 c pickling salt
1 dill flowerrette, 1 tsp dill seed or 1/4 tsp dried dill per jar
1 hot peppers, or 1/8 tsp pepper flakes per jar
1 garlic cloves per jar

Steps:

  • 1. Wash okra several times; drain well. Cut stems if necessary but do NOT cut into the okra pod.
  • 2. Pack okra into hot sterilized jars.
  • 3. To each jar, add 1 dill flowerette, 1 tsp dill seed or 1/4 tsp dried dill. NOTE: I used the dry dill as fresh dill was not available. Add a hot pepper pod and 1 clove of fresh garlic to each jar; set aside. NOTE: today I used 1/8 tsp of hot pepper flakes in place of pepper pods. I prefer hot pepper pods but none were available.
  • 4. Combine vinegar, water and salt together in a pot and bring to a full boil. Pour over okra, seal jars at once.
  • 5. Place packed and sealed jars in to a hot water bath; bring to a full boil. Boil 5 minutes for pints or 7 minutes for quarts.
