Default Frozen asparagus

We are starting to get fresh asparagus in the stores now and I love it. I've never frozen it and wondered it anyone else has? If it doesn't turn mucky, I thought I might freeze a bunch so I could have it over the winter too. Any thoughts?

You can buy it frozen, I buy it all the time.

You could get some frozen and try it and see if you like it.

You could easily freeze it;you have to blanch it first though. Place in boiling water for about 2 mins for small stalks, 3 for larger. Then immediately run cold water on them to stop the cooking. Drain and put in freezer bags or containers leaving as little air space as possible.

Good luck!

Okay, I'll try it. Thanks for the replys. It's still pretty expensive but as soon as it drops I'll be buying the stores out.
