Instructions
Sterilize Jars
- Place 4 pint size jars (or sizes that you choose, but be sure to adjust the measurements accordingly) open end down in a large pot with water to cover by 1″.
- Bring to a boil. Cover and continue at a rolling boil for 15 minutes.
- With tongs, carefully remove jars and place on a towel on top of the counter, open end up.
- In a smaller pan, boil the lids and rings. Boil for 10 minutes.
Pickled Okra
- While jars and lids are being prepared, in a small bowl, mix together the dry dill and mustard seeds.
- Combine the white wine vinegar, white vinegar and water in a small saucepan.
- Add the kosher salt. Stir to mix.
- Bring to a boil, stirring until salt has dissolved. Keep at a steady simmer.
- Into each jar, place 1 fresh dill sprig and evenly distribute the garlic cloves and chile pepper strips.
- Place the okra, alternating point up and point down, to fit best in jars.
- Pour the hot liquid into each jar, leaving ½″ space at the top of the liquid and the lid.
- Run a blunt knife around the okra and the outer walls of the jar, to make sure the liquid is evenly surrounding the okra.
- Place lids and rings on jars. Tighten but not TOO tight. Once cool to touch, tighten.
- Place in cool dry place for up to 2 weeks. Refrigerate for up to 6 weeks.
