COONFREEPE ASPARAGUS o capture the flavor of fresh picked • asparagus, cook the spears the day you buy them, while the tops are still tightly closed, and boil them for seven minutes only, advise food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Snap off the 'butt end, at the bottom of the straight spears. Rinse the stalks in cold water, but do not soak them. Mean- while, set a frypan of water on the stove. Bring the water to a rapid boil. Carefully drop only a few spears at a time into the water, until they are all in ... a matter of a few seconds. Set the timer at seven minutes. When the time is up, immediately drain off the water and serve the asparagus as is, or with your favorite topping. You can have fresh asparagus out -of -season, say food specia- lists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Select very fresh - picked asparagus --- a few hours gathered, then don't waste a moment until you get the blanched spears into your freezer at 0 degrees F. or lower. Check first for the quality signs: compact tips and straight green rounded spears that snap very easily. The next step is to wash the spears thoroughly in cold water to remove any sand that collected under the leaflets during growing. Separate the stalks into bundles according to the diameter of the stalk. Remove the butt end by snapping the spear. Fresh asparagus will snap easily. Set the butts aside for blanching and freezing. They'll add flavor to soups. Meanwhile, bring to boil a quantity of water in a frypan. Carefully drop a bundle of sorted spears, a few at a time, into the boiling water. By dropping them a few at a time, the water will return to an active boil very quickly. Blanch about 1 pound at a time, no more. Let the group of thinner spears boil for 2 minutes; medium-sized ones 3 minutes and large ones 4 minutes. As soon as the time has elapsed, drain, then quickly chill the spears in cold running water. Drain them well on towelling, and proceed to package. Freezer bags (the ones without seams) are ideal for freezing asparagus spears. Place the spears in the bag, alternating tip and stem ends. This will give you a neat, square package. Twist the end of the hag, press- ing lightly on the spears so that most of the air is removed from the package, and tie the bag securely with ties or freezer tape. Immediately date the package, label the contents and set the asparagus bundles in the freezer to enjoy at a later date.
