Freezing Asparagus, Fast Facts

 

Asparagus preparation: Select young, tender stalks with compact tips. Sort

according to thickness of stalk.

Wash asparagus thoroughly and cut or break off and discard tough parts of

stalks. Leave spears in lengths to fit the package or cut in 2-inch lengths.

Water blanch according to thickness of stalk:

 

Small stalks - 2 minutes

Medium stalks - 3 minutes

Large stalks - 4 minutes

 

Cool promptly in cold water and drain.

Pack into containers, leaving no headspace.

When packing spears, alternate tips and stem ends. In containers that are wider

at the top than bottom, pack asparagus with tips down.

Seal, label and freeze.
