Now why do you want to ruin perfectly good okra!!! (That's what the wife always hollers at me when I do it.) ;)

Seriously, you can use any sweet pickle recipe and just sub the okra for the cukes. I have done Bread & Butter okra with onions and red peppers and Dilled Okra using the Dilly Green Beans recipe.

From my brand new BBB: Okra Pickles

Bring the pickling liquid to a boil. Pack the okra into hot jars leaving 1/4" head space. Ladle hot pickling liquid over the okra. Remove air bubbles. Cap. Process 15 minutes in BWB.

Note it doesn't say to hot pack but if you prefer to do so I'd just bring the liquid to a boil, reduce to simmer, add the okra and simmer for maybe 3 min. tops and then pack.

Hope this helps. Enjoy the okra! ;)
