Ingredients

  • 1 lb. okra, 2 1/2 to 3 inches long
  • crushed red pepper flakes
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 1/2 c. cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 c. water
  • 2 Tbsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. whole dill seed
  • 1/2 tsp. whole mustard seed
  • 1/2 tsp. whole celery seed

Method

  • Wash the okra, trim off their ends.
  • Pack them tightly and vertically into hot, sterilized half-pint canning jars.
  • (Pack the okra snugly to prevent them from floating and possibly spoiling the seal.)
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes and a garlic clove to each jar.
