A little story…
Actually this shows what a great dad my dad is. You see when I was a kid, we had asparagus growing wild along the ditch banks. I never liked it but my dad did (or so I thought).
I’d go and pick for him and we’d have it for dinner. He say how nice it was and thank me for picking it “just for him”. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I found out my dad is not a huge fan after all. I think he likes it ok… but I thought he adored it when I was a kid gleaning along the ditch banks.
We have about a mile of ditch asparagus and I pickle most of it. I am just getting into doing more pressure canning and have decided to can more of the long spears. Our favorite though is roasting them fresh and putting up with the after smell if you know what I mean! LOL
I pickle my asparagus, it turns out great. I can also make for a nice appetizer, I get either some deli ham or if I want to splurge, Prosciutto, smear some either herbed cream cheese or Boursin herb cheese, place the asparagus and roll it up.
