Pickled Okra

🫙 Instructions

  1. Sterilize jars: Inspect 3 pint-sized jars for cracks. Simmer them in hot water while preparing the brine. Wash lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  2. Make the brine: In a saucepan, bring water, vinegar, and salt to a rolling boil.
  3. Pack the jars: Divide okra evenly between jars. Add 1 dried chile and 1 tsp dill to each. Pour hot brine over okra, leaving ½ inch headspace. Remove air bubbles, wipe rims, and seal.
  4. Process: Place jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Let rest for 12–24 hours. Check seals before storing.
  5. Store: Keep sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Refrigerate after opening.
