Never wanted to wreck asparagus by pickling, so no. I do have a couple pounds ready for the grill in half an hour….to go with the steaks.

But have you ever had a bloody mary?? The more pickled veggies the better! Okra, onions, asparagus etc.

I don’t drink much and sure wouldn’t waste life on a wuss drink like bloody mary.

Now for the asparagus….we had a couple pounds broil/roasted tonight with some beautiful crappie fillets. Got more to cut tomorrow again.

Wow Tom, where are the smiley faces? Or are you a bit into the 180 stuff?

I finished of my first pint that I did and I was pleased with my first pint. I do want to do a cold pickle with about the same recipe as I did the processed one. It is sour, sweet, spicy and a touch of heat. If anything I might kick it up a bit there.

I pick a 45 quart cooler and pack the little one with long skinny ones for pickling. I add sliced jalapenos into the jars along with fresh dill and garlic. I cut back on sugar. This year I tried the cold brine for 3 hours, didn’t par boil and shock in ice water. See how it turns out. Last couple of years I’ve added a teaspoon of that refrigerated jar of horseradish and that is good too.
