Sweet and Sour Asparagus Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Sweet and Sour Asparagus Recipe). This is great at a picnic when you have tired of all the same old salads. Very versatile, you can serve it cold or room temperature. You can certainly chop up the asparagus, but I found that it always overcooks. I like the presentation of the long spears on a nice white platter. This goes great with a platter of sliced baked ham and some potato salad or with hamburgers and hot dogs. Enjoy!
