[Jo McDonald]

Thank you, Flo  --- I need your protection here.  lol
OK  I apologize --- the last post that I read was about hot pepper jelly -- had to go back a ways to realize you were talking about the okra.  This "old woman" gets it all together and then sometimes forgets where she puts it.
The recipe that I have used is:  Pint jars-----
In each jar put a few slices of onion..a few slices of jalapeno pepper (optional) 1/2 teaspoon dill seed - 1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic ( from the jar ) 1/2 teaspoon celery seed.
Pack with smalll washed okra - pack as tightly as you can.

Pickling solution:
4 cups white vinegar
4 cups water
1/2 cup canning salt
1/4 cup sugar
and I added maybe 2 or 3 tablespoons pickling spices ( in a cheesecloth bag)
Bring to a full rolling boil pour over the okra -use a non-metal knife to remove any air bubbles that may form, wipe clean the rims of the jars and put on the HOT flats and rings.  Process in a water bath 10 minutes.

  The peppers and onions are my addition to the recipe -- also there was one jar that I did not have enough okra to fill- so I used baby carrots....YUM!  The hot pepper slices just gives the okra a little "kick" - but you girls can do what ever your taste buds can handle.
  Good luck
Jo

You two are just too funny!

[flo]

Isn't it great to be able to joke and laugh?  Teresa and Jo, you two seem to have the same relationship that I have with my girls.  You can make "snide" remarks and not be afraid of reprocussions from the other.     too bad I don't like pickled okra.
