Pickled Okra

Chef Steven Satterfield divulges his grandmother's recipes for a family specialty, pickled okra. When pickling your own produce, begin by sterilizing a clean 1-quart glass canning jar and lid in a pot of boiling water for 15 minutes. Use tongs to remove the lid and the jar, which should still be hot when filled with the okra.
Recipe: Pickled Okra

  • 1 lb. okra
  • 1 small sweet onion (such as Vidalia)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 dried chile (such as ancho or chile de arbol)

  • ½ tsp. mustard seeds
  • ½ tsp. fennel seeds
  • ½ tsp. whole allspice
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 2 c. apple cider vinegar
  • 2 c. water
  • 3 tbsp. Kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp. sugar

Directions

  1. Fill sterilized jar with okra, onion, garlic, dried chile, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, fennel seeds, allspice, and cloves.
  2. In a large pot over high heat, combine vinegar, water, 3 to 4 tablespoons kosher salt, and 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar and bring to a boil.
