Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound okra, trimmed and halved lengthwise
6 tablespoons coarse salt
3 cups distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon store-bought pickling spice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 medium onions, halved lengthwise, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 fresh jalapeno, halved lengthwise, stemmed, and seeded

Steps:

  • Rinse okra in a colander. Add 3 tablespoons salt, and toss to combine. Let okra drain in sink 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath; set aside.
  • Put remaining 3 tablespoons salt, 2 cups water, the vinegar, sugar, bay leaves, pickling spice, cayenne, onions, and jalapeno into a nonreactive medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
  • Rinse okra under cold running water to remove salt. Transfer to a large nonreactive bowl. Pour brine over okra. Set bowl in ice-water bath; let cool 10 minutes. Transfer bowl to refrigerator to cool completely, about 25 minutes. Serve.

I thought the pickling liquid was a bit too vinegary. Next time, I'll try using less vinegar.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my okra turned out really mushy. Maybe I cooked it for too long?

I love this recipe! The okra is always crispy and flavorful. I've also started experimenting with different spices and herbs in the pickling liquid.

The okra was a little too sour for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow and the okra was cooked perfectly.
