Equipment
- 1/2-gallon jar
Ingredients
- 32 oz. distilled white vinegar plus 1-2 cups depending on how full the jar is. See instructions.
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 3 lbs. peeled garlic cloves do not used bruised cloves
Instructions
- Fill the glass jar with unbruised, peeled garlic. Top it with enough white vinegar to cover it by ½-inch. Top with the sugar. Seal and shake to dissolve the sugar.
- Make sure it seals. Add a layer of parchment and a sandwich-sized zipper bag to protect the metal lid from the vinegar if using a jar with a metal lid.*
- Store in a cool, dark place for 6 years minimum, but it’s most delicious after 10 years. We usually start one jar per year, when we remember.
Notes
- Vinegar eats metal so the plastic layer and parchment protect it. Always use both. Don’t need this if using a glass jar.
