Sweet & Spicy Pickled Okra - Southern Style | Small Batch Restaurant Made | Lady May - 24oz
A Southern Tradition, Perfected
At The Lady May Restaurant, pickled okra isn't just a garnish—it's a Southern staple. Growing up in the South, we both remember jars of pickled okra on every table, at every gathering, at every family meal. But when we opened our restaurant, we couldn't find pickled okra that tasted like the ones from our childhood—most were too vinegary, too bland, or lacked that perfect sweet-spicy balance.
So we created our own, using fresh okra, our signature brine with mustard seed, garlic, sliced jalapeños, and red pepper. The result? Pickled okra that tastes like home, with a sweet-spicy kick that makes it impossible to eat just one.
The Lady May's Sweet & Spicy Pickled Okra
If you're a fan of okra, you'll love The Lady May's Sweet & Spicy Pickled Okra. These pickles are packed with flavor—a perfect balance of sweet and spicy that will make your taste buds happy!
What Makes Our Pickled Okra Special:
Perfect Sweet-Spicy Balance: Sweet upfront, then a gentle heat from jalapeños and red pepper that builds without overwhelming. This is okra with personality.
Fresh Okra: We use only fresh okra, never frozen, for that signature tender-crisp texture that makes pickled okra so addictive.
Our Signature Brine: Vinegar, water, mustard seed, garlic, sliced jalapeños, and red pepper come together in a brine recipe we've perfected over years.
Whole Pods: Beautiful whole okra pods that look as good as they taste—perfect for Bloody Mary garnishes or charcuterie boards.
Generous 24oz Jar: More than enough to share (or keep all to yourself—we won't judge).
The Restaurant Story:
Pickled okra holds a special place in Southern cuisine, and for us, it's deeply personal. Our grandmothers both made pickled okra—Nana's was sweet, Granny's was spicy. We wanted to honor both traditions, so we created a recipe that combines the best of both worlds.
The sweet comes from our brine, the spicy from fresh jalapeños and red pepper. The mustard seed adds that classic pickled flavor, while the garlic brings depth. It's the kind of pickled okra that makes people say, 'This tastes like my grandmother's,' even though every grandmother's recipe was different.
At our restaurant, we serve it alongside Southern classics, use it as a Bloody Mary garnish, and watch it disappear from charcuterie boards. Now it's one of our most reordered items—customers finish a jar and immediately order more.
