Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Asparagus is the darling of spring, emblematic of the very season, fleeting and fresh as morning. We picked the young spears and dropped them in a salt brine. They ferment for a short time only, and their freshness is preserved by the salty soaking.
Pickling asparagus yields an out of this world flavor that must be tasted to be believed. Give this easy way to preserve the unique, fresh taste of late spring a try. Also, fun with kids!
An easy recipe for a crispy, spicy batch of garlic-and-dill pickled asparagus spears. If the first thing that popped into your head was “Bloody Mary!”, then you clearly you, dear reader, are awesome. *Now openly accepting brunch invitations
My first taste was with cocktails and just straight out of the jar. So, incredibly delicious. When I was in a more civilized mood I made a pretty salad, dotted with goat cheese and croutons before drizzling with some of the pickling juice. Umm wow!
