Expert Tips
- To make the process of peeling the pickled garlic cloves easier, lightly crush them with the broad side of a knife. The skin will come off effortlessly if you do. Alternatively, go for packaged peeled garlic for a serious convenience booster.
- Make sure to use a non-reactive saucepan (like stainless steel or enamel) to avoid any off flavors.
- Patience is a virtue. Allow the garlic to marinate for at least a week before enjoying for the best, most pickle-y flavor.
- Sterilize your canning jar in boiling water (for about 5 minutes) before adding the ingredients to keep your pickles nice and fresh. Also, make sure to use a fresh fork or spoon each time you dig into the garlic pickles so you don't accidentally introduce any bad bacteria.
