Wanda, looks like you did a great job on the canning process! And it looks like you turned the table on me (remember when I was visiting you, you had Danny and me taste testing your Cane Cookies) by taste testing this method of canning okra. When I saw Danny tasting the canned/fried okra and that he liked it made my day! I could just visualize jars of canned okra sitting in your storage cellar! I so hope you are doing well this morning. Thanks OAG
I live in a big urban area. Would you believe I grow 10 lbs of delicious organic sweet potatoes in the front planter of my mobile home? About a 20X2 ft area? I am delighted!
BTW sir, my in laws retired to a nice plot of land outside Trenton, GA.They had a garden patch, mostly feeding the bunnies who lived under their cabin. Many happy days there.
Fried okra, cream corn, sliced tomato, and corn bread....... you talk about a good meal! It's one of my favorite meals when it's all fresh from the garden or your own canned food. Thanks for posting this Wanda! This video made me hungry! LOL
I've been meaning to try OAG's okra for a couple years now and went to his channel. His recipe seemed a little different than yours...kinda confusing though. Anyway, I went with yours and put up a couple quarts. They turned out great. We don't have a freezer, so I hope to be puttin' up lots of okra this way.
👍👍👍👍👍 Thank you Mrs wanda & Mr. Danny .for re-doing Old Alabama Gardeners easy Okra Canning & The batter stays on much better ! I ALSO will be doing this instead of freezing my Star of David Okra & Clemsom spineless ... Oh yummy . God bless you & Mr danny for EVERYTHING YOU teach millions of us - especially with prices going up daily . If you have cheap meals can you also pretty please take some time to show us those also . I had 2 turkeys in freezer from this past Christmas and I took 1 out yesterday to cook this Sunday - to have meals for next week - We are looking for Farmers in our area to buy a 1/2 pig and cow with our Oldest son as meat at the stores is just to expensive... I will be making broth with the turkey pieces etc...... Mrs Josette Tharp Montgomery County , Texas 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am revisiting the video years later to prepare for what looks like might be my best okra year EVER. You should mention this video in one of your live streams. It should have WAY MORE views!! Thanks again Wanda, Danny and Mr. Charles!!
Loved the vid. I spent a few years in Texas growing up and loved fried okra. I live in California and it is rare to find it. Recently, we had a BBQ restaurant open up the street from my law firm. It is a mom and pop authentic BBQ restaurant. Great food and most importantly, great fried okra!
Oh my goodness. I was asking my aunt yesterday if there was a way to can okra and both of us said we didn't think so. But, now I've found this video and I got my first blessing for the day. I am so very happy. Also, want to thank you for sharing your lives with us. I found you just a few hours ago and already I've learned so much. Many blessing to you and your family.
Love OAG's method for canning the okra. More of a canned brine but it works great. He cuts his really thick. I do mine thin. That way I can also use them in scrambled eggs as well. (fry them up for 5min then drop in the egg mixture and tossed altogether, serve.) Great additions to soups too.
Great to know! I'm not an okra person typically but I have friends I met at church and they convinced me to try their vining okra and it was not slimy! We loved it! They saved me a seed pods so I plant my own this year and I have it growing in my garden and now I have a tried way to preserve it for later too! Thank you guys!
@@rosejafari2243 I don't know. Like my friends who gave me seeds from their produce they saved, that's what I do each year. So I have never purchased the seeds.
@@jeremiahjohnson6278 not what I'm talking about. But it does resemble some of the texture of loofah after its set and dried out. But it's delicious! I have friends who grow loofah and they saw mine in full growth and they could see differences and took some seed to grow at their place.
OAG sent us over here. We love okra, we started using method on our canned okra...my daughter (30) said this is the best tasting Okra she had ever had. Thanks for sharing this
Thank you Mrs wanda - I loved all Mr. Charles content . God bless his family and also you & Mr. Danny for giving us this knowledge again today May 26, 2022 ... Im growing my Star of David okra from you & Danny also planting my sweet potatoe slips tomorrow.... God bless you & everyone . Mrs Josette Tharp Montgomery County , Texas 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ms. Wanda I'm definitely going to do this. You are always adding wisdom and knowledge to my canning experience. Oh and tell Mr. Danny that I'm always placing my lids on my jars with Ball facing outwards to Ball on the jars... lol🤣🤣 It's apart of my canning life now. I've heard you say it so often while watching your canning videos. Thank you both so much!!💕💕
I fried some fresh okra out of our garden last night.Will for sure try this canning method next season. We too froze a lot this summer.....Thanks for sharing the tips!
Wanda I wanted to let you know how much I LOVE how clean your work area is. Yes, I know that sounds odd, but I so need a clean environment when working with food items. Seeing how careful you and your husband are when working in the kitchen gives me great joy. One thing I am different on is I either pressure can or hot water bath can according to the Ball Blue Book.
We are very clean when it comes to handling food things especially canning. One little germ could cause the food to spoil in the jar. With the vinegar and salt and boiling it for 8 minutes, there is no need to water bath. In the Ball book it only calls for salt, so you do water bath it. Thanks
Thanks, tip for okra that has been canned: Don't add salt when breading it. I didn't think it was salty but Danny did. So salt after you fry. Glad you liked the cookbook.
Great! I have never been completely satisfied with freezing okra! You've got to do something with it, as we all know how much you are usually dealing with! I'll be trying this this summer as we truly love fried okra. One slightly Younger Alabama Gardner thanking Old Alabama Gardner and the South Mississippi Gardeners at Deep South! Really enjoy both channels!
Im so gonna have to try this way. My mom gave us some of hers last year that she canned. It was very bland, no okra taste what so ever. Not sure how she did hers. Hubby gave me the ok to try a pint or two using your method. I am excited. We are new to canning as of last year, we put up 52 pints of sour kraut. Thanks for sharing.
Wow..this is a great video..My husband loves okra he always gets it when we go down south..I never knew how to cook it..will have to try this..Thank You for the share & taste test !!
What other vegetables could you can using this method and not have to process them in a pressure canner. Thanks for this video. I will can my okra like this instead of freezing it from now on.
Thanks Wanda! I just found your video We are raising okra this year and I was looking for a recipe for pickled okra and saw this. I WILL be doing this. It is so easy. I have a green bean recipe for canning that my mama found years ago and it is just like this!! That keep very well. It is 2021 and we are eating some from 2014 and they taste just like canned them. Thanks again! I will be still be looking for a pickling recipe.
Looks great. I will certainly try canning okra this year. Makes me feel safer to can rather than depend on electricity. If hurricane will hit here this year, who knows how long we could be without power and even though we have a generator, who will be able to run a gas powered generator at current gas prices! I fry my okra just like you do except I use Flour, as when I have used cornmeal I can't taste of okra. Have you ever tried flour instead? Would make a good video for comparison of the taste. Love you both and all your videos.
Ms. Wanda quick question. When you drain the okra for frying do you rinse it off. Or just drain and coat it. And do you start your 8 mintues on the timer from the time you drop the okra in the boiling brine. Or 8 minutes from the time it come back up to a boil. I'm getting ready to can this today.
Misty, I am not Wanda, but I think she will be okay with me answering your question. First, I don't think it will work and here is why. When you take frozen okra out of the freezer, as it thaws out, it is going to get soft and if thawing didn't make it soft then the boiling would. What you would end up with is a jar full of mushy okra. Now, having said that, you could try it with just one or twi jars to see what happens. OAG
Hi! Did you try it after freezing it? Because I’m thinking of trying it. I froze my Pods unblanched, whole just after cutting. Tia also did you try this as written?
Thank you for sharing this recipe, I canned up my okra yesterday and it did great. I am a bit confused though, you said you got this recipe from the Old Alabama Gardener, well his recipe is different than yours, he uses 3 1/2 cups water, and your is 10 1/2. With other measurements that are different as well, still using 2 quarts of okra. Pls explain for me the differences. Thank you, love your channel.
He called me and gave me the recipe about 4 years ago. If he is doing something different, it might be that he isn't canning the same amount as I am. Sounds like he is cutting the recipe down for the amount of okra he has. It is HIS original recipe and he has shared with many people.
@@kpowell8907 yes, I used his recipe from a two year old video. I ran out of solution after two pints! No way can you do 2 quarts with 3-1/2 cups of solution. I just made 3-1/2 cups more and had some left.
How did it hold up for you on the shelf? Did you still like it later? My great grandma made great fried okra. I tried cooking it once and it came our slimy. You inspire me to try again. I did plant some this year, but critters ate most of the plants.
Is it 2 1/2 or 10 1/2 quarts of water and 2 quart worth of okra I wish you would’ve shown how you made the breading and did you squeeze the excess water or Do a water press before you did the frame. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for the instructions for canning okra. I have started watching living on a dime, and this past week you were on the show and I was listen to you and starting watching you guys and you-tube.. I am from N. GA. and have some gluten problems like your husband. I have a VERY good recipe for gluten free biscuits that uses cornstarch and they are better then the ones with almond flour. Please let know if you would like the recipe ( they are also cheaper and we can all do cheaper).
My only experience eating okra was years ago. My then mother in law opened a store bought can and used it to make a rice dish. All I saw was slime and goo. Yours did not look like that at all during the canning process and definitely not when it was fried. How did you avoid the sticky results? I think okra is good nutritionally and I'd like to try it again.
Thanks a bunch, y'all. I've been wanting to try this since I saw it last winter. First batch came out well and I'll be doing more. Question: Can you double the recipe and do six pints at a time?
Cheryl, I'll give you the same answer I gave Misty above: I am not Wanda, but I think she will be okay with me answering your question. First, I don't think it will work and here is why. When you take frozen okra out of the freezer, as it thaws out, it is going to get soft and if thawing didn't make it soft then the boiling would. What you would end up with is a jar full of mushy okra. Now, having said that, you could try it with just one or twi jars to see what happens. OAG
I am with OAG, but we are going to try to can some from the freezer next week and let it sit for a week. So we will let you know the results in a couple of weeks. Thanks
6 years later... still so good!

I swear, Ms. Wanda, you and Ms. Patti have hands of steel!!! The way y'all handle the hot jars.
I thought the same thing when I saw Patti! LOL
Loved the vid. I spent a few years in Texas growing up and loved fried okra. I live in California and it is rare to find it. Recently, we had a BBQ restaurant open up the street from my law firm. It is a mom and pop authentic BBQ restaurant. Great food and most importantly, great fried okra!

Thank You for this video, Now we can having fried okra all year. I don't care for the frozen okra either. Thanks to You Wanda and Thanks to OAG.
I did not know you could do this- I will grow and can my own okra from now on- Thanks you for sharing this!!!!
you are the only one I watch canning...ty

Vining okra sounds interesting. Where do you get the seeds?

It's a lufa not okra small lufa sponge

Wonderful. So glad you did this video. Thanks
The okra looks delicious Ms Wanda.
We love our fried okra !!! Put lots in the freezer. Next year will try canning some.
This makes me happy
We tried this with our okra this year and we love it. Thank you for sharing!!
I just found this okra recipe and I will be trying this recipe. Thanks so much.
OAG sent us over here. We love okra, we started using method on our canned okra...my daughter (30) said this is the best tasting Okra she had ever had.

It's apart of my canning life now. I've heard you say it so often while watching your canning videos.

Gotta try that! Been wondering how to cook my okra and this looks real good.
I finished my okra while ago and your recipe was helpful as I had 3qts of okra. It turned out great and all jars have sealed. Thanks
I fried some fresh okra out of our garden last night.Will for sure try this canning method next season. We too froze a lot this summer.....Thanks for sharing the tips!
Just refreshing my mind on some of your how to videos this Sunday afternoon.
Thanks for sharing this OAG recipe. Not sure if I have ever seen okra in person before, honestly. I'd love to try these canning and frying recipes.
thanks for the video. Loved it going to try that way

omgosh!! I have always had trouble with the batter staying on, no matter what I do. I will def be canning it like this from now on. thank you
Thank you! I was planning on looking up methods for canning okra anyway. Don't think I need to look any further.
This is great and I canned 4 more pints today. Thanks
Reminds me of how my grandmother canned..I will be doing this, this weekend..thank you!!
this sounds like something I could do with frozen okra also. Hmm great stuff
I will be canning my okra this way. Great recipe. Thank you Wanda.
Thank you so much. I will be canning some okra.
I am loving your cookbook! And the "tips" in every chapter are so useful! I grew up away from my Meemaw, we moved to Florida when I was 5. Thanks!
Oh Danny, yum! We can hear it crunch! I am also gluten free, thanks for the great video!
Thanks, tip for okra that has been canned: Don't add salt when breading it. I didn't think it was salty but Danny did. So salt after you fry. Glad you liked the cookbook.
I had no idea! Awesome!
Hello Danny and Wanda, I have had okra before. I've had okra with a soup and deep fried. I like it fried better. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH.
That fried okra looks great!
WoW who knew! Looks great & now I can make more room in my freezer :) Thanks guys!

YAY!! This is great to know. Thanks Wanda and OAG!! I will be doing this next year FOR SURE!!
I shared! People need to KNOW this!! LOL
Thanks for the video. I watched OAG last night and am ready to can when I get home from Mass later. I have about 3 quarts of prepped okra.
👍🏼👍🏼 two thumbs up! That looks and sounds amazing! I can't wait to grow & try this method next year.
Thanks, made another 4 pints today.
I canned okra this way a year ago and it was so awesome fried. I hope to can okra this way again this year. I loved it.
Do you rinse the brine off the okra before adding cornmeal?
@@kaylawatts6586 no, but I do strain it.
I love deep fryed okra, And was born and raised in N. Idaho. Yum!
Im so gonna have to try this way. My mom gave us some of hers last year that she canned. It was very bland, no okra taste what so ever. Not sure how she did hers. Hubby gave me the ok to try a pint or two using your method. I am excited. We are new to canning as of last year, we put up 52 pints of sour kraut. Thanks for sharing.
I love fried okra and grow it every year and it does real well plumb up here in Missouri
Great, thanks
Same here in Missouri!
Thanks for sharing ,I just tried it!
Thanks Wanda, I’m doing it your way .
THANK YOU LADY THIS I WILL DO TODAY__I CAMNNOT WAIT TO TRY THIS___THANK YOU
Helpful as always!
Great video. Can't wait to try this myself. Thank y'all so much for sharing
What a great idea. I didn't know you could do that .May have to give it a try .We love fried okra in this house too:0 Thanks
Its really good Pearl Thanks
Oh my gosh so easy!!! I never knew. thanks so much!!!
Wow..this is a great video..My husband loves okra he always gets it when we go down south..I never knew how to cook it..will have to try this..Thank You for the share & taste test !!
One of our favorite ways to eat okra. Good luck on cooking it. Thanks
Can't wait to try, this..
Making these tonight. Thanks for sharing. 😍
What other vegetables could you can using this method and not have to process them in a pressure canner. Thanks for this video. I will can my okra like this instead of freezing it from now on.
Old Alabama Gardener showed us this method. Check his channel out, he does green beans too.
If Mr. Charles says it's good yo can take it to the bank. Love us some Deep South and OAG!! Blessings as always, g.
Thank you for sharing. This is great!
Thanks Wanda! I just found your video We are raising okra this year and I was looking for a recipe for pickled okra and saw this. I WILL be doing this. It is so easy. I have a green bean recipe for canning that my mama found years ago and it is just like this!! That keep very well. It is 2021 and we are eating some from 2014 and they taste just like canned them. Thanks again! I will be still be looking for a pickling recipe.
Please please please share your Green Bean Recipe!❤
I love fried so this will be a good way to keep my okra. Thanks.
I love Okra! Definitely going to do this. Thank you
I assume you drained it but did you rinse it?
Looks great. I will certainly try canning okra this year. Makes me feel safer to can rather than depend on electricity. If hurricane will hit here this year, who knows how long we could be without power and even though we have a generator, who will be able to run a gas powered generator at current gas prices!

looks good
I'm not a big fan of okra but that looked good and sounded crunchy enough to be great. Guess I will be putting some up next time.Thx Wanda and Danny
sounds amazing.
Funny, just watched his video about canning okra!
Love it. I gotta try this! Amy Broussard gave this link on hers.
Morning Wanda, do you still can your okra? How did it taste 6 months after canning or one year after canning. Thank you for your reply.
Ms. Wanda quick question. When you drain the okra for frying do you rinse it off. Or just drain and coat it. And do you start your 8 mintues on the timer from the time you drop the okra in the boiling brine. Or 8 minutes from the time it come back up to a boil. I'm getting ready to can this today.
Thanks for this video. I wonder if I could take the okra I have in the freezer and can it like this? Do you think it would work? Great video!
Misty, I am not Wanda, but I think she will be okay with me answering your question. First, I don't think it will work and here is why. When you take frozen okra out of the freezer, as it thaws out, it is going to get soft and if thawing didn't make it soft then the boiling would.

So, this is basically picked then? Related to the vinegar and salt. Thanks!
Yup!

This looks like it was a tip from the gold mind thanks so much looking forward to doing the same
This is awesome..can you can okra that has been frozen??..I remember eating okra as a child ..I have never growed it..I'll give it a try👍
Did you use any buttermilk or egg in the batter?

Thanks, guys. Need to visit one day when it ever decides to cool off for more than a couple of days. LOL
Can I do other vegetables like this as well?
Did you wash it off before battering it?
Thanks 🌷
Thanks a bunch, y'all. I've been wanting to try this since I saw it last winter. First batch came out well and I'll be doing more. Question: Can you double the recipe and do six pints at a time?

Thank you OldAlabamaGardener for replying.
I am with OAG, but we are going to try to can some from the freezer next week and let it sit for a week. So we will let you know the results in a couple of weeks. Thanks
Thanks Wanda at Deep South Homestead. I will be patiently waiting for your results. Thanks for replying.
You are welcome
Did the jars seal? Just seems weird not to process them.
Ooooo, yum! I loved fried okra, and that looks delicious!
It is good Jeanette Thanks
will be trying
Did you dip the okra in egg before the corn meal?
No just the corn meal.
Sounds like this is going to be happening at my place also!
Have you ever used wide mouth qt. jars ?
