Ingredients
-
1 1/2 pounds fresh whole okra
-
3 fresh jalapeño peppers, cut into 1/4-inch slices
-
9 dried red chile peppers
-
3 garlic cloves, peeled
-
1 cup water
-
2 cups cider vinegar
-
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
-
1/2 cup sugar
-
Kosher salt
Directions
-
Divide the okra and jalapeno peppers pieces evenly between 3 sterile canning pint jars. Place 3 dried chiles and 1 clove of garlic into each jar.
-
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the water, vinegar, mustard seeds, peppercorns, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of kosher salt for the brine. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Once the mixture has reached a rolling boil, pour the brine as evenly as possible into the jars. Seal the jars in a hot water bath according to the jars' package instructions and store in a cool, dry place for at least a week.
Make Ahead
Pickled okra should last up to 6 months in a sealed jar when stored in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate after opening.
