How to Make Pickled Garlic

  1. Wash and peel approximately 1 pound of garlic cloves.
  2. Pack the garlic cloves tightly into a clean, sterilized pint-sized jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup white vinegar and 1 teaspoon sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Carefully pour the hot vinegar mixture over the garlic cloves in the jar, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  5. Leave ½ inch of headspace at the top of the jar.
  6. Secure the lid tightly on the jar.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 1 month, allowing the flavors to meld and the garlic to soften. The longer it sits (up to several months), the better it will taste!
  8. Once ready, enjoy your homemade pickled garlic! It will keep indefinitely in the refrigerator.
