Thank you for the video. The leftover stems are perfect for dehydrating and turning into powder. That way, you can add a kick of asparagus flavor and nutrition to any soup or stew. Two tablespoons will do it!

I love asparagus!! This has made me want asparagus for dinner....heck for right now!!...lol Thanks for sharing. God bless.

Grandma is a wise woman! ;-)

great job love asparagus it grows wild here in boise along the river

I love asparagus! I will have to keep an eye out for sales on it so I can stock up too! Thank you so much!

It's the beauty of a great veggie and a job well done! :) Thank you, hope you get tons!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who says "they are so beautiful" when they come out of the canner. Very nice and informative video. I'll be waiting for asparagus soon.

I have the wild asperagus clumps all mapped out to pick this spring when it warms up. It grows in roadside ditches here

great video. I especially enjoy videos like this that show more than one way to prep a food. you can dry asparagus also-honeypot

That all looked so delicious. Now I am so hungry for Cream of Asparagus soup that I'm making it for supper. I heard this great expression whic Neat video, so thumbs up for you! Thanks!

Boy what a great video! Thank you:)

Why thank you! Asparagus is such a lovely veggie isnt it? I hate to waste, I am a "scrape it til it's clean" "reuse it" "save it" and "use every part of it" kinda gal :)

It is amazing how a genius like can be over looked. You have such a great idea, making 3 things with your asparagus, that I'm in. I am going to the store to get some asparagus, its on sale, 99 cents/ pound, and can both quart and pint size jars. I'm going to have both pickled and hot packed asparagus and asparagus tips and bits soup. Thank-you very much. Please keep the videos coming, you're great. :-)

Thank you, I love asparagus! but have never canned it....fingers crossed I can find a good sale on some too...looks so beautiful!

both, frozen isnt shelf stable but it does stay a little more crisp. I do have some in the freezer as well, I like to toss it on the gril after a light steam and serve it with lump crabmeat and a little spicy butter! yummers!

LUCKY YOU! I have a few plants in the back that are producing now but I am going to take advantage of getting this lovely stuff at a great price every time I can. Whenever I am in Central America, I grocery shop the fields and sides of the roads. the loveliest squashes grow along the roads and where I go has TONS of fruit trees and vines. I once fille a giant cooler with starfruits, oranges, grapefruits, Passionfruit, strawberries and golden kiwi!!! I am a forager and love it!

Thank you for this video we will be doing this here in Wisconsin when spring comes

That is an awesome video. You are very inspiring. I love the waste not want not theme too. My question is can I cut the asparagus into bite size before I can?

I've harvested about 18 so far and none left to can, yet. Blessings!

now that's just terrible, the price of everything has gone up astronomically. It's a shame, but it keeps us useful! the best part of making your own, you know what's in it! posthumus advice from my great grandmama, "You get out of it, what you put in it" such good advice, simple and true :)

wow I was wondering what to do with my asparagus tips, I will be making soup thanks for the tip

Ohh It DOES make a lovely pickle, especially done in the fridge! so crisp and tart and spicy! $1.49 is a great price and it's always so expensive at any other time so it's so nice to be able to get it while you can and can it when you get it! lol Thanks for watching! Gie

I so wish I could find a good deal on asparagus. I love it. Good video

Why did I never think to can that? I currently have a store running asparagus at $1.49 a pound. Guess I know what I will be doing this week! I love the idea of pickling them as well. I think that would make a lovely pickle! Thanks for sharing all your hard work! Noreen ; )

Very nice vid...... Will try pressure canning this year......

I hope you can too! it's usually on sale this time of year. I like to hit the farmers markest for fresh produce too! It's the hunt and the find and the putting away that occupies most of my after work time and weekends. :)

Thank you!

You wont regret it! :) thank you!

Nice video. Thanks

Oh Ok, THAT must have been what I heard. Thanks so much!

I wish I could, but when I am canning, it's usually a marathon! lol Bexar , PetPrepper and I have been up canning til 1 a.m. together sometimes. makes me tired to think of it! lol

I didn't see where you got your funnel?? Also where did you get your Gossners shelf stable milk?

I hope they turn out perfect!!! :) thank you!!

Thank you darlin! let me know how it goes?

Btw I cracked open a jar of the asparagus pickles, that Szeged seasoning really shines nicely with the green asparagus taste! Thought if you while noshing on them! They are fabulous in a roast beef sandwich!

Thank you ma'am :)

Looking bacon the whole process, I think more like three,lol. The longest part was the multiple takes it too me to film it and not stumble over my tongue! Lol it's funny, it's not the doing, it's the filming and explaining and showing but I wanted to make sure this was a vid people could learn from and be able to do their own. :) Thanks for your question, I didn't realize my other ans was so brief. Stupid smart phone lol

Beautiful! The soup was a wonderful idea. 1 can of cream of asparagus soup now costs $1.75 here. YIKES!

Is it ok to pressure can jars that have been sterilized in the dishwasher? I've been told they have a great incidence of bursting.

I sure will!

Smart using the stems to make soup, cutting down on waste.

Goodness! How long did that all take?

How do you keep it from being soggy?

How did they turn out?

thats how I packed peppers into jars before hot pickling solution.

when I was a kid my mom rushed a pressure cooker lid and ended up being sprayed by several gallons of hotter than 212 tomato juice . some lesson plans are more personal than others. I run two or more pressure cookers to spread out the time so there isnt as much wait delay.

one of mine died over xmas but in jan when i stopped at the local thrift i found a ronco for 10 dollars it works great so ya never know where youll find a good deal -honeypot

Great video. Thanks. Take your rings off now as much safer :)

EXCELLENT ADVICE ! Thank you.

we pickle the ends also.. Cheers.

ME TOO! warning, I ate a few too many raw stalks,.... don't eat too many raw stalks... Trust me... Thanks for watching, pretty gal!

Crap, something came up, and it has been postponed..but, I have saved your video...today, I did red potatoes..dehydrated. Been dehydrating sweet potatoes...gosh, I have been busy...

when pressure cooking I turn the heat off and walk away from the stove until I can put my bare hand on the cooker lid.

♥️👍

Me too! does it not grow there? Thanks honey!

WELL SAID, My friend! (big Sigh) I guess it takes all kinds huh?

@usmcschroeder. Hours. Five I think :)

35 minutes :) Hubby cracked into the pint, (he LOVES asparagus soup) he said it was lovely and green! :)

How many pounds of asparagus was this? I was thinking of canning some this weekend since everyone has it on sale this week.

Save the woody ends and make asparagus soup. Fry 1 large onion or more and all of the asparagus ends in butter and olive oil, until the onions are clear and the asparagus ends are very tender but before they loose their color, add 1 or maybe two quarts of chicken broth, depending on how many ends you have, add some garlic and basil, salt and a lot of pepper. Purée until finely blended. You can strain the soup or eat it with the fiber in it (that’s how I eat it) add some cream if you like. I don’t seem to measure anything. Why waste the woody ends blanch and freeze them until your ready to make soup.

Will add fruit fresh next time. Will it make them taste batter?

OHH absolutely, it's MICROWAVING a jar that just takes the muscle out of it. I nuked on jar and then later put apple pie filling in it.. it burst in the BWB :(

Have you ever tried freezing Asparagus? How does canning compare to freezing?

ACK! Never mind. You said how many pounds at the end.

So, ok, back to canning the asparagus part. Sterilized jar..washed and cut veggie....put, raw , in jars. Pts or qts. Pour hot water in. Clean tops. And lid it..canner. 10 lbs. 25 minutes... Right ? Because , I am about to do this.

Good idea but my dehydrator just died! WAHHH

no ma'am they are definitely tender :)

Nope. Best to freeze them for crisp.

Wow, the tv doesn't babysit my kids. My kids are beyond babysitting age anyhow. I allow them to watch tv and do pay attention to what they watch.they watch intelligent shows as well as entertaining shows.I believe tv can be another tool of learning.people used to fear fire and called it dangerous and evil. The Internet can be a wasteland of porn or used for learning. Shall we call that evil as well?
