Pickled Okra     

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds of fresh okra (3 1/2 to 4 inches long)
4 large garlic cloves, peeled
4 1/4-inch thick slices of lemon
2 cups cider vinegar (5% acidity)
2 cups water
3 Tbsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp sugar

Pickling spices:
2 Tbsp mustard seeds
1 Tbsp coriander seeds
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns

Preparation:
Bring brine to a boil. Trim okra stems to 1/4 inch. Combine pickling spices.

Place a lemon slice at the bottom of the jar. Add 1 tablespoon of pickling spices and a garlic clove to the jar.

Pack the okra in the jars, alternating stem-side-up and stem-side-down to allow you to pack the okra well into the jars. The top of the okra should come between an inch to 1/2 an inch from the rim of the jar.

Process for 15 minutes.
