Instructions

Start a boiling water bath for canning.
Wash asparagus, snap off woody ends, and trim spears to no longer than 6 inches.
Slice onion into slivers, smash garlic, and prepare chile peppers.
Combine vinegar, water, sugar or honey, salt, and spices in a pot; bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
Divide onion, peppers, and garlic between 2 clean quart-sized canning jars.
Pack asparagus spears tightly into each jar, tip-end facing up.
Pour hot brine over asparagus, ensuring spears are covered with 1/2 inch headspace.
Seal jars with lids and process in the boiling water bath for 20 minutes.
Wait at least one week for flavors to develop before tasting.
