This is a wonderful pickled asparagus recipe. When this veggie is at a good price, I always make lots of it, and store away for the winter...great along side with just about any dish. Note cooking time is boiling time for the jars. Ingredients:
1 medium onion, thinly sliced |
4 lbs fresh asparagus |
1 red bell pepper, seeded,and cut into thin strips |
5 cups white wine vinegar |
2 cups water (distilled bottled if possible) |
4 tablespoons sugar |
4 tablespoons pickling spices |
2 teaspoons pickling salt or 2 teaspoons kosher salt |
Directions:
1. Place several slices of onion in the bottom of two 1-quart jars.
2. Trim the asparagus to fit in the jars; pack them in with the cut-end facing down.
3. Place the pepper strips in between asparagus.
4. Combine the remaining ingredients in a saucepan, and boil over moderate heat for 10 minutes.
5. Pour into the jars, leaving 1/2-inch head space.
6. Seal the jars according to the manufacturer's directions; process for 20 minutes in boiling water bath.
