Keep Asparagus Around With These Snappy Pickles

106 71


Pickling asparagus transforms the snappy, grassy flavor of this spring vegetable into something a bit earthier and deeper. I like to add garlic and chiles when I make them, but then my family loves spice and heat, feel free to leave them out for a less intense flavor (and some may say a flavor that focuses a bit more on the asparagus itself).

Notes: 1) If you choose to add the lemon slices, use organic lemons and scrub them clean. 2) Store-bought pickling spice is fine, but I like to make my own using this recipe for pickling spice.
