Sweet and sour asparagus

This is my variation on a recipe I have often used that has been modified for our huge asparagus stalks that have shot up, unnoticed. They have not gone to seed and are probably still usable, but only just. This was an absolute success. Really tasty and a wonderful mix of flavours. If you have small amounts of home grown asparagus but not enough for a normal vegetable side-dish, this is an excellent recipe.
