pickled okra
« on: September 23, 2016, 11:37:31 am »
I just got done doing 12 pints of pickled okra. This is a simple recipe without a hot water bath.


 The recipe...

 Pack young okra, 2 cloves of garlic and a tea spoon of dill seed in each pint jar.

boil 1 qt of white vinegar, 1/2 cup of salt, 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup of sugar.

jars and lids hot(I put them in a boiling water for a few minutes before packing)
Pour boiling brine in jars and seal.
 
Let stand for 2 weeks before using.   Makes 6 pints. Some adjustments may be needed to allow for the size of the okra. I guess you can use this recipe for other vegetables if you wanted.

  These pickled okra are great for just snacking or we chop a few up, mix with mayonnaise, a little lemon juice, salt and white pepper for a good tasting tarter type sauce for fried seafood.

Dang that sounds delicious. Never had okra this way but I bet it is a cool texture. Do they crunch?
