I made this last summer and my hubby ate them all. He said they were delicious and I should make more as soon as we get okra this year. Maybe I'll get to try them this year, lol. This one is definately a keeper. Thanks for posting.

I have tried several variations using mixes of cider vinegar and other spices. This I think is the best. To set it up visually I add some red and or orange peppers, a bay leaf and diced pimientos.

Four of my five jars disappeared within three days of opening. I think that says it all!
