    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    • @DeepSouthHomestead
      @DeepSouthHomestead  7 років тому +4

      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

    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.

    Oh Wanda and Danny it was pure torture watching you eat that okra! I have to find me someplace in Washington that grows it or I might be hitch hiking south! The last time I had okra was when I visited my Uncle in Louisiana and that was 15 years ago.

    I put okra up this way, but when I go to fry it, I drain juice but it's very slimy. I rinse it till most slim is off then bread and fry. I ur not too slimy without rinse?

    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.
