OKRA - CANNING for FRYING LATER (OAG 2015)

This video is about how to can, in glass jars, okra for frying later.
No hot water bath nor pressure canner required.
Recipe:
4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
3/4 tbsp salt
3 1/2 cups water
2 quarts cut okra
This is a single recipe, multiply it depending on how much okra you are canning
I make more of the liquid than is called for because I don’t want to run short of liquid to fill the jars.
If you have questions, please ask.
See my video on frying this canned okra at: • OKRA - FRYING CANNED O...

Sir! Thank you so much for this video. I followed this recipe a few months back using the okra from my garden this summer. Today I open my first jar and cooked okra to go with our New Year meal. When I tell you it was delicious believe that!. I am new at gardening, even newer at canning, but an expert at eating okra. It tasted as if I’d harvested today. I may never freeze okra again! You sir are my hero today. Again thank you for sharing your knowledge of gardening and canning and your wisdom. I am so happy today. I have been a subscriber to your channel for only a short time but I’ve learned so much. I spent a good part of the day viewing your older videos to see what else I can glean from you. Please continue to share with us through these videos. S:a faithful viewer.

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Thank you for this very encouraging comment. The reason I make videos is to help you with gardening and canning the garden produce. I am happy you liked the okra canned this way. I am always interested in the results you have when you do something I have showed you how to do. I appreciate you watching my videos and encourage you to watch my videos on health.

So glad I found this channel! I'm going to try that today! We planted late this year and my okra is just now coming on. Was glad to see him use this method of canning. I've canned bacon grease similar to this. I fill up a jar with bacon grease and place in microwave for 3 minutes, take jar out and wipe rim and put hot lid on and set aside to cool and seal. So far I haven't had any issues with doing it that way. Thanks again for sharing this knowledge! God bless this man's family!

[@bigblockperformance3400]

I canned this about a month ago and fried it up today. It was perfect! Better than frozen or even fresh fried okra. I think the ACV brings out the flavor of the okra. Now I need to find more okra to can and get me through the winter. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom.

I tried you recipe and canned about 5 pint jars the very first time, a month later I decided to fry up a jar for a taste test before I canned anymore okra for frying. I watched your video on how to fry up this okra after it was canned. I loved it. I will never freeze okra again. I used your liquid recipe to can my whole okra for boiling. I tried a pint jar and it was delicious. I eat the whole jar, the apple cider vinegar cut down on the slime. I watch your channel everyday now. Thank you so much for sharing all your wisdom and knowledge with us, it is such a generous and precious gift. Thank you all the way from Mississippi.

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Hello Sistercm and welcome to my channel. One thought on canning whole okra this way: I would cut a slit in the okra pod so the air can get out and the liquid can get inside the pod. Are you a JW? _*I will be a guest on Two family Homestead (Live show) on 18 Sep, at 9pm EST (This coming Monday night), love to see you there*_. kzbin.info/door/1JhWUvQlBEK5N5Kj5yn4EQ Thanks for watching.

This is exactly how I can my okra for frying. I think it is an old recipe as a good friend who was my mother's age gave me this recipe. I dehydrate okra and vacuum pack it in Mason jars to use in soups over the winter, but this recipe makes the best frying okra. We love okra.

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Hi Katie, how you doing tonight? I found this recipe somewhere on the internet and you are right, it is good. Have you looked at my video on doing squash the same way? Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXmvpKOsrt6Hq5I It is still hot here in AL. OAG

@@goldenegret8227 My first question is: Which kind of salt did you use? OAG

[@dreamhawthorne1131]

Sir, this the first thing I've ever canned. We only have 4 plants, and over a week I was able to get enough for a 16 oz. jar. (I just heard the lid pop) Once that Okra hit the vinegar/salt/water mix, the smell was absolutely outstanding! I think I'll freeze fresh until I get enough for a couple jars. You've inspired me to learn how you did the chicken and the vegetables! Thanks so much!

[@donnakeeley7924]

Whoa! You are cooking in Saladmaster pots!! I thought mom was the only one who used those. I sure miss them.

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Hi Donna and welcome to my videos. Yes, we have had those pots for over 40 years. I really like them. OAG

[@donnakeeley7924]

Yes! Lost mine a few years ago in a move, my moms set, from about that era. Am slowly building my set up 1 piece at a time as I can afford, on ebay. I have ummm, 1 pot and 3 lids so far! lol Love your video's!

[@cindywilkinson3094]

I am definitely going to do this ....been wondering how this was done...thank you !!

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Cindy, if you like fried okra, then you will love this! And I just uploaded a video on canning green beans (Rattle Snake Pole Beans) pretty much the same way. Take a look at it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3SVq3SHhbSZfs0 If you have questions, E-mail me. Thanks for stopping by. C.

[@malissa4901]

This is how I can mine and also squash, so easy and so good

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Yes, me too.

[@mikehat1949]

Thanks for sharing this. I will try this as soon as my okra starts making.

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Mike, when you have time watch my video on frying this canned okra at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4rYpoWlhrBpoMk Thanks for stopping by. OAG

[@1Happygranny]

So glad it's still up I actually had a great crop

[@markmelton587]

I'm enjoying your videos Mr "Bama! You remind me a lot of my father. He was a Southern Gentleman also, but his speech was much like yours, without any real hard southern accents. He lost his in the military, I assume the same for you? Hope this finds you in good health.

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Hello MM and thank you for watching my videos. Yes, I went in the Army at age 17 (stayed in for over 20 years) and as you describe, lost any southern accent. I am doing well, turned 79 years old today. OAG

[@heathersampson9032]

(Currently on my wifes phone) I seen Wanda's video on this and came over here to check your video on it back in the winter. I got my wife to pick me up roughly a pints worth at the store just to try it before ours starts coming off. Just got it canned, we'll try it sometime soon I'm sure. I love fried okra so im pretty excited about this. Ill let you know what we think of it when we try it. Thanks for posting. -Ryan.

[@toddginaowensby5518]

I cant wait to try this recipe of yours. We have just seen your videos. We love watching them and learned so much from you. I am sure you have answered this question before but i didnt hear it. I was wanting to know how long will okra last after canning the okra this way?? Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Awesome! Thank you! As long as the lid stays sealed.

[@cindyralph7795]

Hello watched your video, GREAT, we love okra, my husband is Lee Ralph, he told me about the way you do it I am going to try this I have a lot of okra to can up, we grew this year Big Okra, it is fatter then reg Okra and it grows really fast, the stalks get as high as 15 feet I have to bend the plant down to get to the okra, I am getting ready to can the okra and then let you know how it turns out. Thanks

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

+Cindy Ralph Hi Cindy, disregard the Private Message I sent you, I did it before I read your comment here. I'm sure you will like it and it is a great way to have okra in the winter time.

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Cindy and Lee, I'll send another Private Message so if you have questions you can ask me that way.

[@cindyralph7795]

+OldAlabamaGardener I have a question, I canned up the okra but is it suppose to look cloudy?

[@LeeRalph100]

+OldAlabamaGardener ooops did not see this before sh respnded

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

+Cindy Ralph What kind of salt did you use? If you used common table salt it may be cloudy. May be I wasn't very clear in the video but you should use canning salt. Other than appearance it probably won't affect the taste. Let me know and I can go back and edit the discussion part of the video.

[@jenisegerman8606]

i love this better than fresh okra .thank you for sharring this with us ..

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Jenise, you are very welcome. I also like it better than fresh fried okra. This will stay good in the jar for a few years *_as long as the jar stays sealed._* Thanks for commenting. OAG

[@lizates1185]

i love your videos i have learned so much from you

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Thank you. I try to make videos that will help you in gardening, canning and health, with a little bit of cooking added. I appreciate you watching my videos. If you haven't already, please subscribe. OAG

[@joymercy]

Nice video thanks ❤

[@cathyjones3403]

Another KZbinr said to turn the jar upside down and she said she went by your recipe. I canned 12 pints today and turned them upside down. Then I watched your video because I knew you would have the correct way of doing it. Have you ever heard of turning them upside down? Thank you

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Yes, I often turn them upside down when canning this way. I don't turn pressure canned jars or hot water bath jars upside down.

[@WonbyGrace2]

Nice. I’m trying to can as much as I can to avoid using the freezer. Thank you so much. Do you make ketchup?

[@stucook8622]

Hello , thank you for your hard work on the videos. I enjoy them and also learn. Anytime I can do that its good. You remind me of my long gone Grandparents and their garden. Thank you for re cultivating my memories ❤

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Thank you for your kind words. I am 80 years old, so, I am from the same cloth as were your Grandparents. In my younger days we gardened not so much because we wanted to, but because garden food was much of how we managed to survive hard times. Again, thank you. OAG

[@brendachapman4559]

WoW!! Going to try this for Sure!! Thanks!! Much Love and Blessings

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Hi Brenda, welcome back. This really does turn out well. When you try it come back here and let me know how well you liked it. Thanks for stopping by. OAG

[@CornerLotLife]

Yes! Just in time for my okra :) Thank you for this video!!!

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

CornerLot Life Great! I hope you will give it a try. I think you'll like it. Do it right and it will remain good for a long time.
