Ingredients
- 1 Pound Asparagus
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- ½ Teaspoon Red Chili Flakes
- ½ Teaspoon Yellow Mustard Seeds
- 2 Sprigs Fresh Dill
- 1 Cup White Vinegar
- 1 Cup Water
- 2 Teaspoon Pickling Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
Instructions
- Rinse well after cleaning the jars, lids, and rings in warm water. Allow to dry naturally or fully by hand
- After rinsing the asparagus in cool running water, drain it thoroughly
- If you're using short pint-size jars, cut them in half. If using a quart jar, leave it whole
- Put the mustard seeds, red pepper flakes, and garlic into the container
- Lean the jar sideways. Before stacking the stalks within the jar, insert the dill sprigs
- This way, the stalks will remain erect when the jar is upright. Use stalks to load the container as tightly as you can
- One-quart jars hold a full pound, whereas two pint jars store around ½ pound
- Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over high heat
- Bring to a boil
- Pour the pickling brine over the asparagus, leaving about ½ inch of headroom
- To remove all air bubbles, lightly tap the jars against the counter a few times. If required, add more pickling brine
- Place the ring over the jars and tighten the screw
- Allow the jars to cool to room temperature before storing the pickles in the refrigerator
- Wait one full day before opening. The flavor of the pickled asparagus will intensify as it ages
