PICKLED ASPARAGUS WITH DILL
Pickled asparagus is delicious, and this recipe was given to me by my best friend, Carole. We get our asparagus in the spring from the Yakima Valley in central WA. Use the freshest dill you can find and pack the spears in quart jars making sure all spears are covered with pickling juice. These are great with salads, in cocktails, or served as a snack. Check out the price at the grocery store. You'll be glad you made your own.
