Instructions

  1. Put the vinegar, sugar, salt, turmeric and 3 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar and salt dissolves, then reduce the heat and keep warm.
  2. Divide the cucumbers, okra and onion among three 1-quart sterilized jars. Evenly distribute the pickling spices among the jars.

I didn’t have okra but I had cucumbers. Other than that, I filled the recipe. I made this recipe on a weekend when I had company. They all loved it. It didn’t have to sit long for the pickling to take effect. I’m curious how long these will keep? Quick and easy. Thank you for inspiring me to try doing my own pickles.
