Freezing Asparagus

I had some help freezing asparagus over the weekend. We enjoy frozen asparagus throughout the winter in soups or steamed as a side dish. Check out pages 40 & 41 in our book “Eating Pure in a Processed Foods World” for tips on freezing asparagus and our delicious Cream of Asparagus Soup recipe. https://www.farmgirlfresh.com/product/eating-pure-in-a-process-foods-world/

Freezing Asparagus

Select young tender asparagus, wash and sort.⠀ Trim bottom of stalk and snap into even spear lengths.⠀

Blanch in boiling water.⠀

 

Drain off hot water and dip in ice water, drain and cool.

A salad spinner works well for this.
