Just a piccy to show you my frozen garlics. Thanks to the dreaded white rot, my garlics don't tend to have a long storeage life, so rather than break open a bulb to find all the cloves wrinkled and rotten, I now blitz the cloves in my little blender, then press the pulp into ice cube trays, freeze, and store in a tuperware box. Then when I want some garlic, I can just drop a lump in. I still have the long plait, these frozen ones used up the damaged, or rotten bulbs - the first to have gone downhill.

Brill idea. Save chopping later.
I just freeze the cloves.
Interesting. Nifty idea!
Not growing any garlic this year, but may do a few next.
I s'pose you could pickle it too if you were running short on freezer space. Or I wonder whether smoking would solve the rot issue?
I've never used smoked garlic, has anybody else?
The Garlic Farm sell it - it's delicious!
