Instructions: Prepare Ball brand or Kerr brand jars and closures according to manufacturers instructions.

Combine tomatoes and okra in a large saucepot. Cover with boiling water; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Pack hot vegetables into hot jars, leaving 1-inch headspace. Add 1 garlic clove to each jar.

Carefully ladle hot cooking liquid over vegetables, leaving 1-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles with a nonmetallic spatula. Wipe jar rim clean. Place lid on jar with sealing compound next to glass. Screw band down evenly and firmly just until a point of resistance is met - fingertip tight.

Process 30 minutes at 10 pounds pressure in a steam-pressure canner. For elevations higher than 1,000 feet, increase pressure accordingly following cooker manufacturers recommendation.
