Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Pickled Okra.
Step 1
Start by thoroughly washing the okra, gently rubbing it to eliminate any dirt or fuzz.
Step 2
Next, sterilize two 1-quart canning jars along with their lids by boiling them in water for at least 10 minutes.
Step 3
Once boiled, let them cool before packing with okra.
Step 4
In a large pot, mix together cider vinegar, water, chopped garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, salt, and Szechuan peppercorns.
Step 5
Bring this flavorful concoction to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the spices to meld beautifully.
Step 6
After simmering, remove the pot from heat.
Step 7
Loosely pack the fresh, cleaned okra into the sterilized jars, then carefully pour the hot brine over the okra, filling the jars to the brim.
Step 8
Make sure the rims of the jars are clean to ensure a proper seal.
Step 9
Finally, store the sealed jars in the refrigerator.
Step 10
For the most delicious results, let the okra pickle for at least one week, though two weeks will elevate the flavor even more.
Step 11
Enjoy the delightful crunch and tang of your homemade pickled okra!.
