Instructions

Rinse the asparagus under cold running water. Trim the woody ends about one-inch from the bottom of each stalk. Pat the asparagus dry with a clean dishcloth or paper towels.
Fill a jar or cup with about one-inch of water (cold tap water is fine).
Place the asparagus in the jar, stalks standing straight up with cut ends at the bottom of the container (just like flowers!).
Loosely cover the stalks with a plastic bag (sometimes I use a resealable bag). Loosely covering them prevents the water from quickly evaporating.
Place the jar in the fridge.
