ChrisK - I hope you know I was just teasing you! Seriously, though. If you love dill pickles (as I do) you will love dill okra. First time I tried it was off the shelf in a grocery store when I still lived in the South. Was pleasantly surprised to find it in the grocery stores here, too.

I really like pickled okra.
If you close your eyes and bite into it, it has all of the texture and taste of eating a pickled lizard. Worth |

I like Okra powder in biscuits and sweet bread. I read about it somewhere out here of the web, so we tried it. The taste is kinda like fried okra, but is a delicate flavor in the background. Okra biscuits with a touch of cayenne and some butter or homemade blackberry jam .... man, oh man. Country sausage, scrambled eggs, and homemade sausage gravy over everything.
Use your dehydrator and then take it to the food processor. After that, you can also use a coffee grinder to reach powder state. In the powder state, it can be used like a spice or flavoring. You can put it in the biscuits in either the powder state or just out of the processor. I like the processor because it adds some color dots to the whiteness of the biscuits. Before this, I've always preferred okra in the "Southern Fried" condition.

Georgia martini: make your gin or vodka martini as you like it, but use a pickled okra rather than an olive. My Yankee friends love it.

Thanks b54red! I'm going to try your method on a small crop of cucumbers and squash this Fall. I'm not sure I want to plant okra again until I try this and see if it works for me too. RKNs are worse than bad here in Florida which is one reason so many Floridians grow stuff in containers.
