Cooking Tutorial: How to Can Okra

This method of canning Okra will allow a person to keep okra for months and then still be able to fry it up to be crisp and tasty!  Okra battered and fried brown will not be slimy.  To use okra that been stored,  just put it in a colander and rinse the vinegar out and then cook it.  The okra will taste as it just came from the garden. The two people were my Mother (cutting okra) and my Father (adding salt & vinegar)  

Reason I prefer this method over freezing. This method doesn't take space in the freezer. Also the freezing method often forms ice crystals that ruptures the cell walls. If this happens, then the okra will become slimy when thawed.
