The Ultimate Pickled Okra Guide

Prepare the Okra

Trim the stems of the okra, but be careful not to cut into the pod. This will ensure your okra stays crisp during the pickling process.

Pack the Jars

Pack the okra into the sterilized jars. Add the garlic cloves, dill seeds, and red pepper flakes. Make sure to distribute them evenly among the jars.

Pour the Vinegar Mixture

Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the okra, ensuring that the okra is completely submerged. Leave a 1/2 inch of space at the top of the jar.

Seal and Cool

Seal the jars tightly with their lids. Let them cool at room temperature. Once cooled, check the seals to ensure they are tight and secure.

Refrigerate

Store the jars in the refrigerator. The pickled okra will be ready to eat after 48 hours, but for best flavor, wait at least a week before opening.
