Oh the farm loved this! Sincerely a wonderful taste, so good I should of made more the I did. I served this as part of a Holiday Brunch, and guests came to grab the asparagus before taking anything else! It was so pretty, and made a lovely presentation. Thanks for posting such a nice recipe, one that will remain terrific throughout the years.
