Smoky Spicy Pickled Okra
Ingredients
  • 3/4 pound fresh okra
  • 4 1/2 cups cider vinegar
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 cloves chopped garlic
  • 1/4 cup crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup smoked paprika
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon Szechuan peppercorns
Instructions
1
Clean and prepare the okra by gently scrubbing it with your fingers to remove any impurities. Prepare two 1-quart canning jars and lids by submerging them in boiling water for a minimum of 10 minutes, allowing them to cool before proceeding with the recipe. Fill the jars with okra.
2
Combine the cider vinegar, water, minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, salt, and peppercorns in a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat source.
3
Fill the prepared jars with fresh, cleaned okra, leaving some space at the top. Pour the hot pickling liquid over the okra, ensuring that the jars are completely filled. Ensure the jar's rims are free from any residue before closing them tightly. Store the sealed jars in the refrigerator to allow the okra to pickle. Allow the contents to mature for at least one week before consuming, with two weeks being ideal.
