bwillaub, the okra you put up, is it pickled or just whole fresh okra or cut up okra. We put a lot of okra up in the freezer in zip lock bags after smothering them down with tomatoes and onions. I've been looking for some info on canning some but not pickled. The ones we put in the freezer are ready to eat after thawing. Just add shrimp to the heated okra and cook until the shrimp are done. Dump heaping spoonfuls on some popcorn rice for a great treat. Another way is to add a generous amount of water to the okra and make an okra gumbo with either shrimp of chicken and a big helping of tater salad on the side.

We have been freezing Orka for years. We just cut it up put it in a zip lock bag and freeze it. It keep real good. I am sure it you have a vac. machine it would be a little better.
In my opinion less is better, boil whole tomatoes for 3 min then dunk in cool water and peel em. Then dice em up into a pot on the stove keepin all the juice, slice okra about a 1/4 inch thick into the tomatoes, salt/pepper to taste and simmer until okra is done to your liking. Sometimes I dice an onion in it but i simmer the onion and tomatoes until the onions are almost done before I put in the okra.Quote:
