Pickled Garlic

[Marley Farley]

:) This is a very good way of keeping large cloves of garlic. Yummy in the winter.   ;)
Peel cloves & pack into clean jars.
Bring to the boil :-
3 cups water
3 cups distilled vinegar
1/4 cup of salt.
Remove from heat
Let stand for 10 mins
Pour over garlic cloves to top of jar.
Leave to cool then refrigerate.   :)

Is there actually any advantage in pickling garlic - altho it sounds scrummy -  last year, I had loads and plaited it and it successfully stored in a cool area either under my worksurface (in a space where you'd keep trays) or small quantities in fridge and it never seemed to dry out - was still using it well into the New Year & longer......or was I just lucky....should mention there is only me so it lasts a long time

but....garlic pickled sounds lovely and obviously very juicy.....

Ours - when we have it! - hangs in the kitchen until May or so.

Spares are in the freezeer.

  :) We don't pickle all ours, it just makes a nice change. Some people say they can't keep theirs & it is a good alternative to drying or freezing.  :)

Didn't mean to knock the idea - yes, pickled is very moreish!

Mamta has a nice brew too.

We pickle it too, for similar reasons - I do sweetened pickled garlic which goes fantastically with curries!

::) It also goes very nicely with the onions & gherkins & nibbles, if a bit unsociable.!!!!!!!! Especially if you have a nice tipple to accompany ;D ;D ;D
