SUGARED ASPARAGUS

Did you know if you bend the stalks, they will break off naturally where they should - to separate the tough part from the edible part!?  Amazing how simple God makes things for us sometimes huh?

This is easy and delicious - hope you give it a try.

SUGARED ASPARAGUS

3 Tb. brown sugar

2 Tb. butter

2# fresh asparagus, cut into 2" pieces

(about 4 cups)

1 cup chicken broth

In skillet over medium-high, heat brown sugar and butter

until sugar is dissolved: add asparagus; saute for 2 minutes.

Stir in chicken broth; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat;

cover and simmer for 8 - 10 minutes or until

asparagus is crisp-tender. Remove to a serving

dish and keep warm. Cook leftover sauce in pan,

uncovered, for a few minutes, until reduced by half.

Pour over asparagus and serve immediately.

Yield: 4 - 6 servings

I always say, if you want your kids to eat their veggies,

add a little sweetness and they'll go down a lot faster.
