Sugared Asparagus

“Very tasty! I used chicken stock and only had a small bunch of asparagus, but it worked fine. Love the sweet sauce and poured that over the baked chicken we had as well as the asparagus.Will make this again.”

“Wow!Very good!The sugar gives the asparagus a slight sweetness that makes it excellent!My boyfriend doesn’t usually like sweet with veggies but he also enjoyed it very much!We will be having again!”

“This was quite good!The asparagus cooked very nicely!And, the sauce was flavourful.The sweetness was a bit overwhelming – maybe I’ll try it with a little less next time.”

“Asparagus is my favorite veggie and this recipe is different from anything else I have tried.I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and my asparagus was very thick and I only needed to cook it for about 5 minutes.I think 8-10 minutes is way too much.”

“Great recipe.Easy to prepare.One of my favorite ways to cook asparagus now! Thanks for sharing.”

“Nice way to serve asparagus.My asparagus was quite thick, but was still overcooked in 8 minutes. Other than that, it was very good.”

“This recipe is nothing short of amazing!Great taste, easy to make, and I was surprised that the asparagus did not taste overly sweet.Perfect!I raved about it to my mom and aunt so much they asked me to forward this to them . . . they’re both so fussy and set in their ways . . . that in itself is high praise.Thanks so much for posting this recipe, Deb.”

“I thought this was so good.I don’t have much of a sweet tooth and was hoping the sugar wouldn’t spoil perfectly good asparagus and it didn’t.The sauce was just right.I would cook the asparagus a bit less than 8 minutes as mine did end up a little less crisp than I like.”

“This has become one of our regular side dishes.Thanks!”

“This was just OK.The sugar, in my opinion, ruined the fresh delicious taste of the asparagus.It’s such a great flavor on its own.This might be great if you don’t like the asparagus that much to start.If you love it, you might not be as happy.”

“I did everyting as the recipie suggested but I threw in some toasted sliced almonds just before pouring the sauce over the veggies and it was great!”

“I’m used to just steaming asparagus until it’s tender.This was a real change and I’ll never just steam it again!!Didn’t have any broth on hand so used two bullion cubes in a cup of water.Made with white asparagus.YUM!!!!!”

“This was the first recipe that got my kids to eat asparagus.Very yummy!”

“I must admit that I haven’t tried this yet, but am cooking another Asparagus recipe this evening.This sounds soo yummy, and as Asparagus is so healthy, and in season, I will be making this in a few days:)Just sounds mouth watering:)”

“Haven’t had asparagus in a while, but I’m pretty sure this is the best way I’ve had it in a long time!The earthiness of the asparagus wasn’t at all overpowered by the sauce.Very nice recipe!I did tweak it though, I did not cook it for nearly 8 minutes, and I cooked the stems first then added the tops at the last minute.I like a little bit of crunch in my veggies.”

“This was a huge hit with my family. Very simple to make and the sauce works well with other vegetables. This Easter I substituted the asparagus for carrots and everyone loved it!”

“This was perfect..served with “applebee’s honey salmon..everyone loved it..Thanks”

“Nice change from plain old steamed. I used homemade chicken stock. Just the right amount of sweetness, :)”

“This was tasty!”
