Dilly Pickled Asparagus Recipe image

These dilled spears are really popular with my family. My granddaughter always says, "Oh, Grammy, these are soooo good!" They're easy to prepare and turn out perfect every time. My husband loves it when I add a dried hot pepper to each jar. -Annie Merrell Fenelon Falls, Ontario
