Okra Pickles

Recipe Ingredients

3 lbs	1362g / 48oz	Small okra pods
12		Garlic cloves - halved lengthwise
6		Fresh hot peppers (small)
6		Fresh dillweed sprigs
6		Fresh tarragon sprigs
3 cups	711ml	Water
3 cups	711ml	White vinegar (5% acidity)
1/3 cup	78ml	Pickling salt
3 tablespoons	45ml	Sugar
1 tablespoon	15ml	Crushed red pepper

Recipe Instructions

Pack half of okra tightly into 1-pint hot, sterilized jars. Place 4 garlic pieces, 1 pepper, a sprig of dillweed and a sprig of tarragon in each jar with okra. Pack remaining okra in jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.

Combine water and remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Pour boiling vinegar mixture over okra, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles with nonmetal spatula, sliding it down the side of the jar between the food and the jar, pressing back gently to allow bubbles to escape. Wipe jar rims.

Cover at once with metal lids, and screw on bands. Process in boiling-water bath 10 minutes.

This recipe yields 6 pints.
