Pickling Ingredients
Method
Pickling Process
- 1
Prepare the Okra
Rinse the fresh okra under cold water and trim the stems, leaving about 1/4 inch of the stem intact.
- 2
Make the Pickling Brine
In a saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, kosher salt, garlic cloves, dill seeds, red pepper flakes, black peppercorns, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the salt dissolves.
- 3
Pack the Jars
In clean, sterilized jars, pack the okra tightly. Pour the hot pickling brine over the okra, ensuring that they are fully submerged. Leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top of the jar.
- 4
Seal the Jars
Wipe the rims of the jars to remove any residue, then seal with sterilized lids and rings.
- 5
Process the Jars
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure they are sealed properly.
- 6
Cool and Store
Remove the jars from the boiling water and let them cool completely on a clean towel. Once cool, check the seals and store in a cool, dark place for at least 1 week before consuming.
