Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 1 glass jar or cup
- water
- small bag to cover the asparagus
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.
