| Keeping Okra for Winter Use |  | | |
Fall Planting Sale. Through September 15, 2010, 10% off all vegetable seed!!! | | | | Need a different way to preserve okra for the off season? Cut okra into 1/2 inch peices, season lightly with salt or garlic powder, if desired, and dry in a warm oven or dehydrator until well dried. Okra will become crunchy when its completely dried. Store in a airtight container until ready for use. We have stored dried okra for months in mason jars with no change in quality. Toss a handful into soups or stews at the beginning of the recipe. The dried okra will reconstitute nicely and give the soup a very warm, hearty flavor. The dried okra is also surprisingly good eaten alone as a low calorie snack! | | Return to top |
