This was a wonderful combination of flavors. I used dried Michigan cherries instead of cranberries. I also took the advice of a couple of reviewers and I steamed the asparagus. Also, I found that 3 tablespoons of oil was waaay too much and ended up dumping out almost all of it. After that, my pinenuts browned up nicely. Will definately make this again.

this dish looks so good. it seems the author missed a step here. i would fry the cranberries and nuts, remove them once translucent, then fry the asparagus in that same oil, then serve with the cranberries and pine nuts on top. this way the asparagus is flavored and the nuts won't burn.

This was really really tasty. We absolutely loved it. We did manage to burn the pine nuts and cranberries, though, while waiting for the asparagus to cook. Next time we do this I think we'll steam the asparagus separately while simultaneously cooking the crans/nuts in oil in a separate pan and then add the asparagus to the pan to toss and finish up.

Very good and pretty for holidays. Next time I will add cranberries and pine nuts more toward the end of cooking.

I loved this recipe , however, the best compliment is that my husband and daughters that normally do not eat asparagus, love it. Made it last week and I am making again tonight.

I was unsure what was meant by cooking the pine nuts until they looked translucent, they just kind of started to brown, but it tasted great anyway! This dish was a great new way to have asparagus and I will make it again.

We loved this! The only thing I did different, I steamed the asparagus first and then topped it with the toasted nuts and cranberries. It's beautiful on the dish!
