Ingredients

  • 10 pounds fresh asparagus
  • 5 tablespoons dill seed
  • 5 teaspoons mixed pickling spices
  • 2 quarts water
  • 3 cups cider vinegar
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup canning salt

Directions

  1. Wash, drain and trim asparagus; cut into 5-3/4-in. spears (discard ends or save for another use). Pack asparagus into five 1-quart jars to within 1/2 in. of top. Place 1 tablespoon dill seed and 1 teaspoon pickling spices in each jar.
