Fresh from the Market 

 

Hot-&-Sour Okra Pickles

 

Pick up your okra and peppers from the Market!

 

2 pounds okra - left whole - about 12 cups

6 habanero peppers - whole

3 cups distilled white vinegar, or cider vinegar

3 cups water

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sea salt

2 tablespoons sugar

 

Place a large bowl of ice water next to the stove. 

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.  Add half of the okra, cover, return to a boil and cook for 2 minutes.  Use a slotted

spoon to transfer the okra to the ice water to cool.

Repeat with the remaining okra.  Drain the cooled okra and divide among 6 pint-size (2-cup) canning jars or similar-size tempered glass or heatproof-plastic containers with lids.

Add 1 habanero to each jar.  Combine vinegar, 3 cups water,

salt and sugar in a large saucepan.  Bring mixture to

a boil and stir until the salt and sugar dissolve-at least 2 minutes.  Remove mixture from the heat.

Carefully fill jars (or containers) with brine to within

1/2 inch of the rim, covering the okra completely.

Discard any leftover brine.

Place the lids on the jars (or containers).

Refrigerate for at least 1 week before serving.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
