Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh asparagus
  • 1 cup white distilled vinegar
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup filtered water
  • 1 tablespoon non-iodized sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon organic cane sugar
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • fresh dill sprigs
  • whole black peppercorns
  • mustard seeds

Method
 

  1. Wash the asparagus thoroughly and trim the woody ends.
  2. Sterilize the jars by washing them in hot, soapy water.
  3. Divide the garlic, dill, peppercorns, mustard seeds, and red pepper flakes between the jars.
  4. Pack the asparagus spears tightly in the jars.
  5. Simmer vinegar, water, salt, and sugar until dissolved.
  6. Pour the hot brine over the packed asparagus in the jars.
  7. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate.

Notes

Ensure the brine does not boil too long to maintain crunch. Use fresh asparagus. The flavors improve after 24-48 hours in the fridge.
