This is one of my favorite asparagus recipes, and I make it often. Served most recently with grilled curried shrimp, roasted tomatoes and couscous. Sooo good.

I too have been using this recipe for years. It's a favorite, it's simple, and delicious.

Prepared as directed. A little sweet for my taste. The combination of soy and preserves was just overly sweet. But, it's a matter of personal preference. I roasted at 400 degrees on top rack for 10 minutes exactly and the spears were perfect. Great way to prepare asparagus, but not my favorite recipe. Will try something else next time.

I've been using this recipe for years and it's so good. Usually I'll swap the apricot jam with sugar-free raspberry jam that seems to give it a bit more flavor.

Asparagus is not my husband's favorite veggie, but he loved this recipe. Followed the directions exactly and they came out sweet, crunchy and delicious.

Easy and delicious way to fix asparagus! I will definitely make it again. I made it just as the recipe said. I used very thin asparagus and 10 minutes was just right. I served it with chicken and dumplings and a salad.

Have had better asparagus recipes. This one was not one of the better ones. Would not make again. Served with fish.
