INGREDIENTS
•
4 pounds asparagus, trimmed to fit your pint jars and blanched in boiling water for approximately 10 seconds
•
3 cups vinegar (half apple cider vinegar, half white vinegar)
•
3 cups water
•
2 tablespoons kosher salt
•
4 tablespoons Penzeys pickling spice
•
1 tablespoon red hot chili flakes
•
3 garlic cloves, peeled
•
3 slices of lemon
•
3 pint jars (if you use the taller, 12 ounce jelly jars, you don’t have to cut your asparagus quite as short and you’ll probably fill four jars. I didn’t have any, so I didn’t use them).
