Cooking instruction summary:
Wash and sterilize 4-5 wide mouth pint jars, lids and rings (you can sterilize them by running them in the dry setting in your dishwasher, or just soak in a sink of very hot water). You should need five jars if you’re adding onions, or four if it’s only asparagus.While jars are sterilizing, rinse asparagus and snap off the woody ends (save them for asparagus soup!). Cut the asparagus into 2-3 inch lengths.In a large pot, mix kosher salt, vinegar and sugar. Heat on medium high stirring until salt and sugar are dissolved. Turn heat to the lowest setting.Remove jars from sterilization and dry them off. Place one garlic clove and one sprig of dill in each jar. Divide the red pepper flakes and mustard seed among the jars.Pack asparagus tightly into the jars, interspersing with onion slices if desired.When jars are filled, pour brine (the vinegar mix) into each jar to cover all the asparagus. Put the lid on and seal with the rings. Let sit until sealed (at least one hour). If any lids did not seal (center of lid shouldn’t be able to be pressed down), refrigerate the jars.
