How to Make Pickled Garlic
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 2 bay leaves, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Bring to a rolling boil.
- Add 1 pound of garlic cloves (separated and optionally pre-soaked for 2-3 hours for easier peeling) to the boiling mixture. Return to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, ensuring the garlic is gently heated through but not overcooked.
- Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the garlic cloves to clean, sterilized jars.
- Pour the pickling liquid over the garlic, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
- Seal the jars tightly and let them cool completely.
- Store in a cool, dark place for at least 3 weeks before enjoying. The flavor will deepen and improve over time!
