Excellent recipe!!! I made 2 quarts as posted. I added 2 tbsps sugar to the remaining liquid and left the peppers out of the other 2 quarts. I also did a BWB for 20 mins, just to be safe!! I left them to sit for 3 months and they were perfect. The 2 made to recipe were perfectly spiced for my DH, the other 2 were perfectly sweet for me :) :) As soon as asparagus comes into season I will be making a few batches of each. Thanks for the great recipe!!! -
Great recipe. See photo. -
Superb! For "the pickling challenged", this recipe was extremely easy! The resulting product was not only pretty, but I must go to the grocery store today and get more asparagus - my mailman, neighbors, etc are BEGGING for more! Thank you so very much!!! -
I made two cases of these pickled asparagus last summer and gave them to my family members for x-mas presents. They are all begging me for more and putting in orders left and right! Looks like I'll be making more cases this summer. Excellent taste. Easy recipe. Asperagus turn out superbe! Taste is spicy and rich, but not too hot.Excellent for just finger-food eating or was great in a bloody mary drink. Really, they taste so good you could eat the whole jar by yourself!!!!!!! thank you from me and my whole family L Roth
