Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Pickled Okra.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the necessary ingredients for your pickling adventure.
Step 2
Carefully inspect three pint-sized jars for any cracks and check the rings for rust, discarding any that are defective.
Step 3
Immerse the jars in simmering water to sterilize them while you prepare the brine.
Step 4
Give new lids and rings a good wash in warm, soapy water to ensure they’re ready for sealing.
Step 5
In a small saucepan, combine water, vinegar, and salt, bringing the mixture to a vigorous boil.
Step 6
Once the brine is bubbling, evenly distribute the fresh okra among the hot, sterilized jars.
Step 7
For each jar, add a dried chile pepper and a teaspoon of dried dill, infusing the okra with flavor.
Step 8
Carefully pour the hot brine over the okra, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Step 9
To eliminate any pesky air bubbles, run a clean knife or thin spatula around the inside edges of the jars.
Step 10
Wipe the rims with a damp paper towel to remove any residue, then secure the lids and tighten the rings.
Step 11
Prepare a large stockpot by placing a rack at the bottom and filling it halfway with water.
Step 12
Bring the water to a boil, then gently lower the jars into the pot using a holder, ensuring they are spaced at least two inches apart.
Step 13
If needed, add more boiling water to cover the jars by at least one inch.
Step 14
Allow the water to return to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process the jars for ten minutes.
Step 15
Once the time is up, carefully lift the jars from the stockpot and let them cool several inches apart for 12 to 24 hours.
Step 16
To check for a proper seal, press the center of each lid; it should remain firm and not pop back.
Step 17
After they’ve cooled, remove the rings for storage and keep the jars in a cool, dark place, ready to enjoy your delicious pickled okra whenever the craving strikes.
