Ingredients
- 12 pieces Chipotle chile peppers (dried)
- 2 cups White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 piece Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the dried chipotle peppers under cold water to remove any dust or impurities. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, and kosher salt. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt.

Step 5
Carefully add the dried chipotle peppers to the saucepan. Ensure the peppers are fully submerged in the pickling liquid.
Step 6
Simmer the mixture for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the peppers to soften and absorb the flavors.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the peppers and pickling liquid into a sterile glass jar or airtight container. Ensure the peppers are completely covered by the liquid.
Step 9
Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before using to allow the flavors to meld.
