I love pickled asparagus but got tired of spending so much money on tiny little jars and decided to pickle my own. I also like it spicy but feel free to halve the crushed red pepper or omit it altogether if spice is not your thing. They take just 10 quick minutes to prepare and 2 days to pickle.

Ingredients

  • thick asparagus spears: 1 pound (trimmed)
  • garlic: 1 Tbsp (minced)
  • red pepper flakes: 2 tsp (crushed)
  • mustard seed: 1 tsp
  • pink peppercorns: 0.5 tsp (optional)
  • ¾ cups distilled white vinegar: 1 piece
  • water: 1 cup
  • salt: 1 Tbsp
  • white sugar: 1 tsp
