Wasting perfectly good okra by pickling instead frying it with red onion ought to be a felony.  Used to bring tears to my eyes when parents would do it when I was a kid.

Hogs have hit a wall at the wrong time of the season.  I will go on record now and say they may not even get out of their regional.  The hitting has been carrying them with a few good pitching outings but they just don't have the reliable pitching they need to get back to the CWS.

Start with cast iron skillet, of course, melt Crisco.  She would just use corn meal to coat the okra and start it cooking while chopping up a red onion and tossing in the leftover cornmeal.  Then dump the onion in the skillet pretty quickly afterwards.  Gas stove on high so you had to keep stirring so it wouldn't burn.  Salt, pepper, garlic powder toward the end.

There's probably something I like better, but after typing that I can't think of it. 

And Pharm, you cut and freeze the extra okra so there's plenty to cook all winter and spring until the next crop.

I grew up on okra and potatoes done that way. Coat both in cornmeal and fry together. It's pretty darn tasty. Especially with some purple hull peas.

Looking back guess I grew up thinking you were supposed to put onions in everything.  Mom would put them in pinto beans, purple hull peas, green beans, cabbage, salads...

If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

well for every pound of okra, I use 6 garlic cloves, 3 cups cider vinegar, 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 1/2 tablespoon dill seeds, 1 tablespoon mustard, 1 1/2 tablespoon salt (table salt works in a pinch but can become cloudy from anti caking agent), and 1 tablepoon sugar.

It makes 6 half pint jars...and I tend to water bath them for 10 minutes.

My other way of doing it...For ever 2 pounds small-medium okra pods. I use 4 dried thai birds eye chili's split in half, 2 teaspoons mustard seed, 12 sprigs of fresh dill, 4 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns, 1/4 cup salt, 2 cups rice wine vinegar, 2 cups water, bottled is preferable.

Makes 4 pints, and water bath them for 15 minute.


Another way is for every 1 1/2 pounds fresh okra use:

3 dried red chile peppers
3 teaspoons dried dill
2 cups water
1 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons salt

10 minute bath.

3 pounds okra
6 hot peppers
6 garlic cloves
1 quart vinegar
1 1/3 cup water
1/2 cup salt
1 tablespoon mustard seed

10 minute bath...

1 pound okra, trimmed
4 small dried red chiles
2 bay leaves
2 garlic cloves, halved
1 teaspoon dill seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt

10 min bath

Grandma would also also cook it with tomatoes and onions and make a stew out of it with squirrel or stew meat.

My mom had this 5 layer casserole she would do.  Hamburger or sausage on bottom, then potatoes, onions, then tomatoes, and last top with okra.
