How to Make Ozark Canned Okra
- Wash and trim 1 pound of fresh okra, removing stems and any blemishes.
- Pack the okra tightly into sterilized pint-sized canning jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace at the top.
- In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups water, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the water mixture to a rolling boil.
- Carefully ladle the boiling water mixture over the okra in the jars, again leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
- Remove any air bubbles by running a non-metallic utensil around the inside of the jars.
- Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth.
- Place lids and rings on the jars, tightening fingertip tight.
- Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
- Remove jars from the canner and let them cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal.
- Check seals by pressing down on the center of each lid; if it doesn't flex, it's sealed. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place.
- Once canned, enjoy your okra fried, boiled, baked, or in your favorite recipe!
