Don&#8217;t let it go to waste. Learn how to can asparagus at home! Canning asparagus is a fun and healthy activity that allows you to eat your homegrown asparagus all year round. You&#8217;ll need a pressure canner for this project as water bath canning won&#8217;t be enough to kill the bacteria that can cause botulism. Follow these steps from Blain&#8217;s Farm &amp; Fleet to can your very own asparagus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-can-asparagus\">How to Can Asparagus<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> Heat up your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/mason-jars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">canning jars<\/a> in simmering water until they\u2019re ready to use. Don\u2019t let the water get to a boil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/blog\/blanching-vegetables-for-freezing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blanch and wash the asparagus.<\/a> Cut off the rough part of the root. You can leave the asparagus in spears, or cut them down to your preferred size. You can boil the asparagus first, or you can raw pack it; it\u2019s all about your preference. Blanching helps retain the flavor, color, and texture of your asparagus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> Pack the asparagus into the heated canning jars. Using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/products\/957309-norpro-canning-ladle.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ladle<\/a>, pour boiling water on the asparagus, leaving about an inch of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/blog\/canning-headspace-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">headspace<\/a> (the space between the liquid and the top of the jar). Remove the air bubbles with a bubble remover. Wipe the rims of the canning jar, put on the lid, and apply the bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> You need to use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/blog\/pressure-canning-introduction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pressure canner<\/a> with asparagus as the acidity of the asparagus is not high enough to water bath can asparagus. Once you&#8217;ve filled the canning jars, place them in the pressure canner. Set the gauge at 10 pounds of pressure for 20 minutes for pints and 25 minutes for quarts. Use a digital timer to make sure you&#8217;ve canned for correct time. Note that you will have to adjust the pressure, depending on your altitude. Take out the canning jars with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/s\/?keyword=jar+lifter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">jar lifter<\/a> and let them cool. After 24 hours, the lids should be sealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> Enjoy your home canned asparagus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find all the&nbsp;<a href=\"\/canning-supplies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">canning supplies<\/a>&nbsp;you need at Blain\u2019s Farm &amp; Fleet.
