Grandma Oma's Pickled Okra Recipe

These were easy and fast and a great way to save summer okra. The only thing I did differently was add one whole clove of garlic but they came out fabulous!

This recipe as written is 3 stars - too basic for my taste, but 5 stars and YUM with my additions! I used a mix of 1/2 apple cider vinegar and 1/2 white vinegar. I added a pinch of white sugar, too. I didn't have full sprigs of dill, only minced dill for cooking, so I mixed this with the vinegar while it was boiling. I doubled the chili peppers and added a garlic clove to the jar of okra before adding the liquid. These were ready to eat after about 3 hours in the fridge. I will definitely make these again!

I found two clean Mason jars and needed something to do, so why not pickle some okra. I was making them to eat out of the fridge and don't have my water bath pot anyway. So I just packed a little over a pound of okra into the jars with 2 cracked garlic cloves, a deseeded serrano pepper, a few slices of white onion, red bell for color, and a couple sprigs of fresh dill. I did follow other suggestions and used half apple vinegar and half regular white vinegar. So, this is the point where they get to chill for three weeks.*** 3 weeks and a few days later and bam! subtle vinegar with a hint of spice and a crunch with a tad bit of okra slime! Loved it!

I didn't bother with the hot water bath as I knew they wouldn't last very long. I just put them in sterile mason jars. I think the recipe needs to be a little more specific about what vinegar to use. I used a combination of white distilled (for the twang), apple cider (for the mellowness) and white balsamic (LOVE the flavor). I think you need to play around with it until you find the particular flavor that you like. I would still probably just buy my regular jarred pickled okra, but this was a fun thing to try for a change. Thanks!

Made this many times. I substitute one cayenne pepper, a clove of garlic, and a sprig of fresh dill for each jar. Always a crowd favorite.

I used 1/2 apple cider vinegar and 1/2 white vinegar, added a clove of garlic per jar per someone's suggestion. They were delicious! DIdn't last a week!

This is my basic go to recipe. I like to add a clove of garlic to pint jars. Also, I experiment with different peppers. I made a batch with Carolina Reapers (1/2 pepper per jar) and that is the bomb if you like hot pickled okra.

Great recipe I left half the salt out. I put everything in the jar including water and vinegar and gave it a water bath for 30 minutes. Leave out for 24 hours. Store in a dark cold place or refrigerate if opened. Turned out perfect for okra, pickles. Jalapeño and banana peppers.

These are very good. I used half apple cider vinegar and half white vinegar with extra 2 Tbsp white balsamic as one reviewer suggested. Great way to use up an overabundance of okra. I also added a garlic clove to each jar and made some spicy. The taste is delicious and love that the okra keeps its crunch.

I added one Jalapeno per jar instead of the chili flakes.. The only problem I have with this recipe is once I open a jar is that I eat the whole jar. My gosh these are AMAZING!

Hey there Just made these and it smells amazing I cannot wait for my family to try them. the only tweaking i did was that i added pickling spice to the jars and i chopped the pepper and one clove garlic to each jar. Now I've doubled batched it because I have a big family and that would mean I'd go without; what's the sense of making something if I cannot enjoy it as well?? I've had pickled Okra before but they were store bought. So I cannot wait till try it tomorrow or Tuesday, since it is sandwich day at work , hoping my southern co-workers enjoy them as well; considering we live in Canada, only an hour away from Buffalo NY.

Perfect just like it is! Best pickled okra I’ve ever had. Super easy.

Just wow — nailed it on the first try.

This recipe was simple and my family loved it. This is my 6th time but instead of red pepper i used jalapenos but i took the seed out. Simple and a family favorite.

Followed instructions to a T. My pickled Okra came out fantastic! The recipe did not indicate how long the "pickles" had to set before eating; having never pickled a thing I had no clue so I googled it. I'm on a roll now 😁, my Okra plants are the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you for this very easy tasty recipe. It is definitely a keeper.

Easy recipe, just finished making it, can't wait to taste them.

Made it. Ate it. Repeat.

Super easy and delicious! Definitely play with them and try different ingredients to your taste. Also, a quick tip is to add some okra to some pickle juice and that works well too! Enjoy everyone.

Very easy and the flavor is amazing! This was my first ever attempt canning and 100% perfect!

I didn’t have ingredients and the okra was fresh so I put my okra in a nearly empty bottle of Valasic pickles. I topped it off with some more pickle juice to make sure it was covered. I let it sit for a few days and It was the bomb!!! Now Grandma I’m getting all the ingredients and will make yours from now on. Just wanted to share with folks in case they wanted to try it!
