This is how Grandma Oma always pickled okra, and I still do it. On a relish platter, spicy pickled okra is a welcome variation. After opening, put jars in the fridge.

- Inspect three pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until brine is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
- Bring water, vinegar, and salt to a rolling boil in a small saucepan.

- Divide okra evenly between the hot, sterlized jars. Place a dried chile and a teaspoon of dill into each jar. Pour hot brine over okra, then run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.

- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Made this many times. I substitute one cayenne pepper, a clove of garlic, and a sprig of fresh dill for each jar. Always a crowd favorite.
Super easy and delicious! Definitely play with them and try different ingredients to your taste. Also, a quick tip is to add some okra to some pickle juice and that works well too! Enjoy everyone.
Very easy and the flavor is amazing! This was my first ever attempt canning and 100% perfect!
I didn’t have ingredients and the okra was fresh so I put my okra in a nearly empty bottle of Valasic pickles. I topped it off with some more pickle juice to make sure it was covered. I let it sit for a few days and It was the bomb!!! Now Grandma I’m getting all the ingredients and will make yours from now on. Just wanted to share with folks in case they wanted to try it!
I love pickled okra, (even though I’m a Yankee by birth), and can tell you this is an easy to follow and delightful to eat.
Easy! I added Thai peppers, clove of garlic along with the dill! I hope they are delicious!
Great recipe! First time I’ve ever made pickled okra. Easy recipe to follow. Thanks
Great recipe I left half the salt out. I put everything in the jar including water and vinegar and gave it a water bath for 30 minutes. Leave out for 24 hours. Store in a dark cold place or refrigerate if opened. Turned out perfect for okra, pickles. Jalapeño and banana peppers.
Love it ,but we like a little bit more bite… I added extra peppers and little more dill.. I have canned many quarts and pints .
Substituted red pepper flakes for peppers
Made my third year run this weekend. Did 25 pints. Maybe I’ll have enough to keep me and my friends in pickled okra this winter! Thank you!
I was pickling some cucumbers and had some Kosher Dill pickling juice left over, so going to try that avenue as well, plus this recipe.. Thanks for the hint to keep them around for later.
With or without the chilis (for the faint of heart) these are amazing, easy and delicious.
Having never made pickled okra before, I was a little bit worried that it wouldn’t turn out. But it was delicious and a big hit at Thanksgiving fiber
Super easy!!! I added pickled jalapeno instead of the dried pepper.
These are very good. I used half apple cider vinegar and half white vinegar with extra 2 Tbsp white balsamic as one reviewer suggested. Great way to use up an overabundance of okra. I also added a garlic clove to each jar and made some spicy. The taste is delicious and love that the okra keeps its crunch.
Great recipe for pickled okra! Simple to do and really good dill pickle flavor. Made 11-1/2lbs and now the waiting game begins.
I’ve not yet tried it as I just finished making it. I can say it is very easy and pretty quick. I added garlic clove as I love garlic and added a pinch of sugar to each jar. They came out good looking and I can’t wait to taste them.
it dissapeared
I used 1/2 apple cider vinegar and 1/2 white vinegar, added a clove of garlic per jar per someone’s suggestion. They were delicious! DIdn’t last a week!
Easy Peasy and tastes great.
