We love them in our house! I also try and buy my garlic from the market. If you&#8217;re lucky when you go, Mr Market Trader will have about a third of a sack left. You can then negotiate on price for all of them, rather than the measly 3 per pack in the main supermarkets!<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll need a sterilised Kilner jar about a litre in size.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10 garlic bulbs &#8212; separate the cloves removing the woody stem and tougher, loose, outer skins. Otherwise leave unpeeled.<\/li>\n<li>600ml white wine vinegar<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon good quality sea salt or Himalayan salt<\/li>\n<li>100g unrefined granulated sugar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Method<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Boil the vinegar in a pan with the salt and sugar, stirring all the time to dissolve the sugar. Bring the liquid to a simmer.<\/p>\n<p>Put all the garlic cloves in the vinegar and return to the boil, reduce heat again and simmer for 5-8 minutes depending on size of the cloves.<\/p>\n<p>Leave to cool in the saucepan.<\/p>\n<p>Transfer to the Kilner jar and make sure the cloves are covered with vinegar. Seal and store.<\/p>\n<p>They can be eaten after a week of maturing, but the longer left the better! The skins can be eaten, but if they are particularly tough then just peel off before serving.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can eat these straight from the jar, chopped up in salads and stir fries or served up with olives, antipasto and cold meats.
