Instructions
- Make the brine: Place vinegar, water, salt, and sugar in a medium saucepan and bring it to a boil until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Reduce the heat to low to keep it hot.
- If using one large jar, place all of the herbs and spices and garlic in the bottom of the jar. If using pint jars, stir the spices together and divide them up equally between the three jars along with garlic. Be sure to use clean, sterilized jars.
- Pack the okra into the jars, as many as you can fit. Packing them stem side up makes them easier to grab from the jar but to fit more of them into the jar you can alternate stem side up/stem side down. Pour the hot brine over the okra and fill the jars up, leaving 1/4 inch from the tops of the jars. Stick a clean knife down into the jar, running it between the okra to eliminate any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars and screw on the lids.Let the jars cool completely, then transfer them to refrigerator. Let them chill for a few days before eating them to give them time to absorb the flavors and for the texture to improve. Makes 3 pints.
- For Canning: If you are canning the pickled okra, follow standard water bath canning procedures and process the jars for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the jars and let them sit undisturbed until cool, then store in a cool dark place.
