I will be posting lots of asparagus recipes soon, I do all kinds of things with it and if it is really fresh, I eat it raw. You can tell by the ends, I never have to break them off when I buy from the farm.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-89759509948620417562019-04-18T13:22:23.084-04:002019-04-18T13:22:23.084-04:00Someday I want to learn how to pickle and "ca...Someday I want to learn how to pickle and "can" things.

So easy. I boil up a brine and fill a jar with mustard seeds, pepper corns and garlic on the bottom and then whatever vegetables I want to pickle. Pour over the hot brine, seal and leave for a couple of days before eating. Keep in fridge. It's very easy and I am doing it all the time lately.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-66312904918248333122019-04-18T12:11:40.000-04:002019-04-18T12:11:40.000-04:00That shrimp looks delicious!
