Hmmm candied okra , I would think if you sliced it down and then dipped it in sugar cooked to the hard crack stage you would have instant candied okra the only problem would use it asap.
The other method would be to poach the okra in a heavy syrup intil translucent and then dry it in sanding sugar and let it dry on a rack similar to making candied ginger, if you do the poaching method i would flavor the syrup with some cayenne just to make thee flavor a bit more rounded, let me know how you make out |
