Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Wonderful info. I will place this in the asparagus folder. If anyone see's a new folder needed please let us (Amy or myself) and we will get one started. Thanks, Donna AJ <coolcook wrote: 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
