Canned Okra

This is my favorite recipe for canning okra...it is a wonderful recipe..we love to eat it right out of the vinegar/water/salt solution when I first make it...add some butter, salt and pepper, and YUM. In the winter months, it is great to just open the jar, rinse it off , put it into seasoned cornmeal and fry.....so glad I found this tutorial..if you cannot watch it, this is the recipe..... 6 TBSP white vinegar put into a gallon of water, 2 TBSP canning salt...bring to a boil and add your sliced okra...bring it back to a boil and time it for 6 minutes...use a slotted spoon and put the okra in your canning jars, add the boiling solution..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6bpsWkL0g4 I will use a little less salt in the next batch I make, but this recipe is a winner....

Poppyseed Dressing

Poppyseed Dressing 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 teaspoons dry mustard 2 teaspoons salt 2/3 cup white vinegar 3 TBSP grated onion and juice 2 cups canola oil 3 TBSP Poppy seeds Mix sugar, mustard, salt, and vinegar. Add grated onion and juice. Using a blender, or mixer, slowly add oil, and continue to beat until thick. Add poppy seeds and beat a few minutes more. Keep in refrigerator.. I sometimes just put it all in the blender and whiz it...this is so good over fruit as well, drizzled over watermelon and cantaloupe balls....great on spinach and strawberry salad...
