Thank for showing me how to freeze okra I will do it that way now I can buy Lot's of okra and freeze put up and when need have them already thank so much
Looks yummy. One of my sisters told me about your channel and I'm so thankful that she did.
I don't remember Mom freezing Okra,she may have I just don't remember. I was too busy playing, watching TV or, doing school work. I do remember Mom fixing some of the most appetizing meals though. She would often fry Okra and potatoes together. Many fond memories.
Mom was always canning fruits and vegetables and, making some of the best jams and jellies. I really don't remember our family having very much store bought jams. Anything grown on a tree, bush or vine, Mom would have some in jars.
My sister that told me about your channel, freezes a lot of berries and other fruits and vegetables just like you do.
Thanks, this was a wonderful video. Whenever my wife and I want some Okra, we head to our local Farmers Market.
We both have an appetite for fried Okra and Zucchini squash.
Many thanks.
Stan
Those a re wonderful memories I am glad they can be shared here at CVC Stan!
I freeze mine the same way here in South Carolina. Love your channel.
Thank you Jean!
🙌 Yay thank you. I could not remember. It's been a while since I froze okra. We had a big yield this year.
Yes I was thinking to tell you about parchment paper, works so easy. Okra sure has been good this year. Enjoy! XOXO
Thanks Cindy!
Thanks for the tip of double bagging if not a freezer bag. Did not know that important factoid. Great video, Thanks!
I just love watching and listening to you :) Helps so much when I am homesick!
Thanks Michi!
Cool beans!!!
Thanks for this!!!
My okra plants are going bananas this spring so I'm gonna be freezing a lot. I eat okra raw, boiled, pickled but my favorite way to eat it is fried. So I'll be doing a lot like this.
We use seasoned bread crumbs and flower 50/50 mix. Then add some spices like pepper and garlic salt then deep fry! Yummy! Thanks for the freezing tip. I've been pickling it for weeks now! Now in freezing it!
I've fixed it both ways but our family likes it best to salt it and use only cornmeal. And fry in an iron skillet
Thats exactly how i do it, i do use vacuum seal sometimes.
i do lightly flour sometimes(i let it sit with flour, about 10 min+) & then freeze. to use for fried okra. my okra is about 6-7 ft tall.
Thanks for sharing.
Ours was like that last year but not this year!
Thank you. I just got the idea to freeze it because I never have enough at once to make a meal and then he gets too big on the plant. This is the solution
Going to try this right now.
I’m thinking you could gather that parchment in half and use it to dump straight into the bag.
I’m gonna have to be super quick, it’s 100 degrees here and my freezer is outside
I've been using this method for fruit, blueberries, blackberries, etc. Why the light never went off to do this for veggies is beyond me. I think maybe because I'm just getting over the past few years to not blanche so much. Right now, the only thing I blance is greens; collards, mustards etc. Thanks for the tip!!
Tip: use the parchment paper to add the okra to the bag ❤
I pickle my okra. Try it, you're husband will love it if he's a real country boy. Lol
Just started watching your channel. I'm an old Southerner myself. Grew up
like you on comfort food. Love mustard greens with bacon grease, fried green anything,
poke salut. (know what that is?) and mator gravy. Mom and Granny both cooked on wood
stoves even when they had gas. We we're self sufficient, butchered our meat, canned our
veggies, and churned our own butter. I also do a lot of Cajun cooking. Well, gotta go, got
chicken and dumplings on the stove. Love Ya'll
Welcome to CVC! Sounds like you know everything we are talking about!
Thank you for this great informative content ,
I'm 56yrs old & just learned to flash freeze everything it's so much easier to get it out of the freezer bags or Vacuum sealers ,
B4 when I froze peppers I'd have to run some under water so I could cut them up for my dishes ,
Now even blueberries , peaches , green beans etc is so much easier if I didn't put in portion size bags ,
It saves on freezer bags to just flash freeze & fill to u can't, as everything is going up in price its crazy.....
Thank u

I’m going to try this. Every time I’ve tried to freeze okra it ends up a disaster once thawed. Mushy and yuck. We don’t eat pickled okra or boiled okra so fried is our only option lol...and when I make it, it’s like crack to my family. My kids will eat my fried okra like French fries.
I’m hoping this is a win this year! I would love to have fresh okra all winter.
I would bread and fry before freezing then crisp in the oven to serve.
I fry my okra like you do, Tammy. Another way is to add 1 potato in small cubes. A southern friend told me about adding potato. I eat this with fresh sliced tomato and a glass of tea. Delish and Thanks
That sound good Linda!
I do okra that way except I bread it before freezing it. I also do wild, morel mushrooms that way
All the okra need is a green tomato. I fix my okra just like you Tammy, but the only way my husband likes it is if I cut up a green tomato and fry it along with the okra, all together. It is yummy
It is good together!
khaggard123, I thought I was the only one that cooked a green tomato in with my okra !! I love it !
l've been slicing and freezing fy squash for many years. After slicing, l put them in Ziploc bags and freeze them. Try to keep the slices seperated when placing in bags! when ready to cook, l place frozen squash in a med pot. l then add a little sliced onion and bacon grease, salt and pepper. You can use butter if you prefer. Make sure you don't overheat the pot. Do not add any liquid. Liquid will cook out of the squash and onions. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn or cook all to pieces. l've been cooking squash like this for many years, just the way my Mother did!!! She fed her 9 children well!!!
P.S.
Make sure to stir fairly often.
You are the first person to tell me this. Mama just always told me that it was mushy. I am going to do it Jeanette! Thanks so very much!
Love okra but have never seen it grown in a garden. Didn't know it was a vine that grew past Chris's head. Please have Chris start a 'Garden Series' come time. Show from seedling 2 Supper table 4 ppl who don't know how . 4 all U do this buds 4 U 🌷
TFS. I have been giving our away because it was too much. Now I know to fry freezing it.
Thank you!
Glad you showed us how this is done. I’ll be growing some next year! Appreciate you, Tammy!
I grew a ton of okra and was wondering if blanching is necessary if frying. They always tend to get mushy.
I do not
I am going to freeze my okra like that.
Can you point me to your video on how to make the flour and buttermilk for this okra? Thanks!

@@CollardValleyCooks Thank you!
so when you thaw out your okra after freezing does it get mushy? I've been wanting some fresh okra, now I have to go find a produce place that has some, it's so good fried nothing any better
It does not get mushy if you hurry up and cook it!
This is how I freeze banana slices. Once they are set, I dip the top in chocolate, let it set then throw it in a ziplock.
Can you freeze green tomatoes like that? I love fried green tomatoes.
I am not sure but I would try
I'm gonna do this with mine. I hate blanching okra.
@
Do you blanch yours first? Thank you
We don't
Does it taste weird because it's not blanched?
No Jeanette, we never blanched okra! It is delicious
I've read okra is a super food
Well I think it is!
I do mine like that also tammy its so good
Will be giving this a try. Thanks
Works great, you'll be happy!
What varieties do you grow? Mine drop leaves and poop out in August. Do you cut yours back?
I don't cut it back. This is Clemson Spineless
@@CollardValleyCooks Thank you, again. You are a wealth of knowledge. ❤
Did you wash okra first and let dry before slicing it?
Yes it has to be totally dry
Collard Valley Cooks I have quite a few I picked at a farm that lets you pick for purchase and forgot to ask them about pesticides. I’m using your method!!! I’ve just discovered you and love your videos!!!! Please keep them up!!! Bless you and your family
How do you keep it from being slimy if you wash it first?
If you wash it you will have to dry with a paper towel or cloth
Do you wash yours first?
I think that method that you are doing is great.
I have also always frozen my okra this way. I don’t understand why anyone would blanch it.
It is recommended to blanch, if storing for extended periods of time.
Mine don't last the year.lol
I freeze mine whole and vacuum seal
Do you wash it first before you freeze it
You can but it has to be totally dry
Did you wash it first?
I do but it has to be totally dry before you do this.
Freeze without washing?
It needs to be totally dry
Collard Valley Cooks - you mean we should wash the okra and let it dry and then freeze?
@@Vegan7 you can wash it or not, that is up to you. Just make sure it is dry.
😊
well did u blanch the okra first ?
I did not
