In a large pot bring to a boil 1 gallon of water. Rinse and sort your asparagus into small(2 minutes), medium(3 minutes), and large(4 minutes), widths. Also have a large bowl full of ice water ready. Once your water is boiling add asparagus to water for specified amount of time and then put it into the ice water for the same amount of time. Remember to let the water come back up to a boil each time before adding your next batch of asparugus also add more ice if needed. Once you have it all blanched put it into labeled freezer bags and into the freezer it goes.
I did this with pea pods last year and they were like fresh picked but it was January.
