I’m a huge fan of pickled okra! Never tried a packaged mix for them, but I don’t see why that couldn’t work. I learned to pack my okra in the jars with half pointed up and half pointed down to fit more in each jar. Just something Maw-Maw taught me. Keep at it! I’m hitting up some of Antique Alley tomorrow. 🤗
Oh great idea and tip Wink! I’ll do that next go! Yay on Antique Alley! Be sure to let me know what you pick up. I’d love to hear from you on it. Be safe
I was thinking the same about putting some upside down. I’ve never canned/pickled anything, so I’m learning. I don’t know if I’ll be comfortable doing the canning/pickling.
We've pickled okra for years. Grew Clemson spineless for that. Heirloom variety. Like the star of David for canning to fry. Makes fatter pods but shorter.
Everything I pickle floats like that. I’ve started to put okra in stem down until the bottom is full and then fill the spaces with the stem up. It helps get a few more in there.
You and Greg are the great example of well prepared and surviving mode of what’s coming up in our near future. Your okras are so lovely and yummy looking. Thank you for sharing the video. Wonderful as usual👍💕
Not so crazy for fried okra or in the gumbo...but pickled is WOW! The comment on not being afraid to improvise really helps. When you first start canning--like me, one year old--it really gives a boost of confidence. Looking forward to the other version when you get it done and uploaded. Jesus bless. Hey...and I love it and can't wait for the next installment you guys are putting together on regenerating soil. Super excited.
Thank you for sharing your canning videos, I am fairly new canner, only pressure canned so far,. So I need lots of tips and instruction! Next, I'm canning your milk and Half and Half! So exciting! Love pickled okra... But so costly.... Now, I need to find some good prices on okra! ☺️
Hello. Antiquing is sooooo much fun. Pickled okra sounds so yummy. Next year I want to put okra in and was thinking pickled would be a nice addition to the pantry. You asked "What do you think?" I think you are amazing...lol. I am so glad your back has gotten better.
Old Alabama Gardner had a recipe for canning okra for frying. It works but has a slight vinegar taste that we actually like. Done the freezer method for years. We use fish breading from Sam's club to batter it in. Might look it up. I wrote the recipe down for canning. Gets mushy after about a year but no freezer space.
Would any old giant pot work for the canner if we don't have the black coated pot? Sorry if it is a stupid question, but wasn't sure if they were made a certain special thickness. From what I understand the water just needs to be at a hard boil and the jars need to be completely covered. Correct? New to all this gardening and preserving stuff, but my garden is a full time job this year from so many veggies coming in. I do have a large pressure canner, can the pressure canning method be used for this instead of the water bath method?
Hi Angela! Never silly questions here! Yes you can use any pot for canning, completely cover with water. You can even use your canner, just do not put lid on
Since you used the whole pickling packet, it looks like you had 9 wide mouth pint full of okra. Is that correct? On average, how many okra pods did you put in each jar? I ask because maybe someone does not have as much okra and doesn’t need to use the whole packet. Thanks! Just subscribed to your channel!
Hi munchkin and thank you so much for the sub. I did more yesterday and I got 5 quarts in 3 pints. The first time I did them I didn’t add enough okra to the jars and this second time I did by taking the advice I have some of my subs who said put one point down one point up so I was able to get more in I hope this helps. Just pack them in as tight as you can.
Just saw this. Wasn't home yesterday. Went to Antique Alley. Had a blast but so hot we didn't hit all we wanted. May go back this morning and see how far I can get before my foot and the heat get to me. Couple of things I'm looking for. Wish me favor finding them. Did see some gorgeous pink glass that I may go back and get if it's still there, if I don't find what I am looking for. 🙏🏼4u
Thanks so much for wearing the mike..being hearing impaired I had never heard you so well 👏💃👏💃 Blessings ❤️

@@sheilataylor9579 Canning is easy Sheila. Just like Jill shows. Give it a try.

That’s awesome Jill. You are getting a bumper crop 🙌🏻. God Bless you 🙏🏻💗
Good way to improvise. We love okra pickles more than regular pickles. We've canned about 50 jars this year. lol
I saw !!!
We’re not a big fan of Okra. Never thought to pickle it. Interesting process. Thank you Ms Jill for the suggestion.
Have a great weekend! God bless!
Very important! Thanks for sharing and God Bless!!
God bless you!

Looks great Jill! Mike is harvesting okra and we are freezing until we have a gallon bag and then we will pickle. Blessings, Rochelle
Just pulled my breaded out of the freezer and bagged it up!

Thank you sweet Rachele! You are very precious ❤️
Jill, I use Mrs. wages also. So easy to use when you have lot of veggies coming in.
Turned out fantastic!

I sure will
Love your top. I love pickled okra. Have a great day.
❤️ Miss V
Yum! Okra is my all time favorite side. I'll choose it over potatoes any day.
Just fried some up❤️😋😋😋
Looks yummy! Love pickled okra! Can you share your ketchup recipe? Blessings!
Sarah with Living Traditions Homestead also did homemade ketchup, I’m pretty sure her recipe is posted in the description of the video? I think??
@@norcalgal1876 Thank you! I'll take a look.
I’ll send ya gal
@@ntxg Thank you! I'd really like to try it.

@@ntxg Thanks! Just trying to determine how much of the pickling packet to use for however much okra I might have to fill pints.
Yes!
Why would anyone pressure can pickled okra when hot water bathing works? The water bathing makes it shelf stable too, right?
If you acidify it with vinegar. Otherwise I’d pressure can for safety gal!

So glad you got to go love!
Grew dill in the wicking tubs in my greenhouse before. Freeze it for later. Likes cooler temps
Yes! I may put some in!

I've never had okra. Curious what it tastes like. I heard children don't like it.
Oh gal! Depends on how you make it! We fry and sauté. I put a recipe up a week or so back❤️
👍🏽👍🏾👍🏼👍🏻👍🏿👍🏻👍🏼👍👍🏽👍🏼👍🏻👍
I only do 10 minutes in the bath. If you over cook the okra gets soggy when you open them
Thank you!
Thank you!
If you do not know how to hold the knife safely, so it is also your recommendation. It will not be blessed by the Almighty God.
