Ingredients
- 1 pound Asparagus spears
- 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 cups White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 4 sprigs Dill sprigs
Directions
Step 1
Trim the tough ends off of the asparagus spears. Rinse them thoroughly and set aside.
Step 2
Sterilize a quart-sized canning jar in boiling water or wash thoroughly with hot, soapy water and rinse well.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and kosher salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Place the chipotle peppers, garlic cloves (peeled and lightly smashed), black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and dill sprigs into the bottom of the sterilized jar.
Step 5
Pack the asparagus spears into the jar, standing them upright. Trim them to fit snugly if needed.
Step 6
Carefully pour the hot vinegar mixture into the jar over the asparagus, covering them completely. Leave about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of the jar.
Step 7
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, place the jar in the refrigerator.
Step 8
Allow the asparagus to pickle for at least 24 hours before consuming for best flavor. The pickled chipotle asparagus will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
