Garlic Okra Pickles

Source of Recipe


From "Dori Sanders' Country Cooking"



List of Ingredients



• 3 pounds uncut fresh okra
  
• 3 cups water
  
• 1 cup white distilled vinegar
  
• ¼ cup pickling (kosher) salt
  
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  






Instructions



1. Wash okra, trim off stems, but do not cut into the pods themselves. Drain and pack into 4 hot, sterilized pint Ball Mason jars.
   
   
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, salt, and garlic and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Pour immediately into the jars, filling to within ½ inch of the top.
   
   
3. Wipe the jar rims with a clean, damp cloth, fit them with hot lids, and tightly screw on the metal rings. Process in a boiling-water bath for 5 minutes (the water should cover the jars by about 1 inch), counting from when the water returns to a boil after the jars are immersed. Cool on a wire rack and store in a cool, dark place.
