Receta How to Preserve Garlic
This weekend I wanted to pick up some vegetables so we, the hubby and I, decided to take a drive to Nicolet Farms in Suring WI, about 3 miles from our house. We stop at Nicolet Farms at least once a week. During this time of year, harvest time, the produce at Nicolet Farms is constantly changing. With the early frost we are experiencing here in Northern WI, they are quite busy on the farm!! We picked up some corn-on-the-cob, apples, cauliflower, spaghetti squash, red kuri or red hubbard squash and two pounds of garlic. I have never preserved garlic before so when I got home, I goggled "how to preserve garlic" and... found this great recipe at Barefeet in the Kitchen.
- How to Preserve Garlic~
- 2 lbs Garlic, heads broken apart and cloves peeled
- 4 cups Distilled Vinegar
- large pot for boiling vinegar
- 5- half pint jars and lids for storing the garlic
- Boiling Water
- Pour boiling water into 5- half pint jars, set aside until needed
- Break apart heads of garlic and peel the cloves
Place peeled cloves of garlic in a large mixing bowl. Fill with water. Scrub off any dirt with fingertips. Place cloves in a large strainer and rinse.
Remove any brown spots or brown ends with a small sharp paring knife. Rinse again.
Dump out water from jars.
Bring the vinegar to a boil in a large pot. Fill jars with clean garlic cloves
Once the vinegar has boiled, pour it over the garlic cloves in jars and screw the lids on tight.
Let the jars come to room temperature on the counter overnight and then store in the refrigerator.
Will keep in the refrigerator for up to one year.
Thanks Barefeet in the Kitchen for a great recipe!!
