Ingredients

2 pounds fresh okra

2 cloves garlic, sliced

2-4 fresh Cayenne peppers

1 quart white vinegar

½ cup water

8 Tbsp pickling salt

1 tsp celery seed

Directions

Wash okra and place on paper towels to dry.

Sterilize five or six pint sized canning jars with lids and rings. (Follow jar manufacturer’s directions for sterilizing.)

Place washed, dried okra, sliced garlic, and fresh pepper in jars until jars are full. (It helps to alternate okra, one stem up and one stem down.)

Place vinegar, water pickling salt and celery seed in a large sauce pan and bring to a rapid boil.

Boil mixture 3-4 minutes and immediately (while still boiling) pour over okra, garlic and peppers.

Make sure contents of each jar are completely submersed in the hot liquid.

Tightly seal each jar. Allow to cool, then wash/rinse the outside of each jar and dry.

Let stand 3 weeks before serving. Pickled okra can be stored on pantry shelf.

Refrigerate before serving.

Wow! My grandmother used to make something similar to this. Brings back memories. Canning seems to be a lost art in this world of fast food. She even used to have a *root cellar* where she kept everything she had canned for the winter. Obviously she wasn't from Florida, lol. I think I was the only grandchild that loved okra. Got any recipes for fried? Great post!

I came across this recipe when I was looking for picked okra and I waited until after they were made and tried before I came back to rate. You deserve more than a 5, they are superb! I just had to stop by to tell you how good these are. I was very impressed with the flavor. I didn't think I would like them but made them for my boyfriend because he loves them. The jar we opened last night, is now empty. I loved them too!

Love that pickled okra! My 10 year old granddaughter is a fan too. If you don't watch her she sneaks off with the whole jar and my grandson will eat all the cornbread.I reckon they've been raised right.Makes a body proud.Yes I am a true southerner too.
