Pickled garlic

[Lunker]

Put fresh garlic in white vinegar and add 1 tsp salt and orange peel chunks. Let sit a while yummy!!

Are you using whole cloves, or are you chopping them? If whole cloves, do you just eat them out of the jar?

I get gallon size jugs of fresh peeled whole cloves at work and would love to fool around with something like this.

Do you leave the white stuff on the peel?
How much garlic, vinegar and orange peel do you use?
This is what I need, another way to have garlic.

Well I peel the clove of any white paper skin, fill up a jar and fill it up with white vinegar. You can use less salt or none its my personal taste. But definately use the orange peel chunks. Little 1/2 inch chunks with no white pith on them. You could try a couple cloves too. Let sit a week and OH man what a taste. I use them in with my fresh maitaki's and parsely. Everyone in my family is going nuts over them. Theyre all in the Hocking hills looking for more stumpies now.:D

Now whos got the best way to peel garlic, I know theres a fast way out there, I just forgot. Seems liek it was with those lid opener pads or something...

Hold the garlic clove like you would a nut and bolt and then twist the clove like you were taking the nut and bolt apart. You will hear a snap of the clove covering and it will come off very easy. I do this with 6 to 10 garlic bulbs every few months, I then chop them up in a small food processor and put them in a Zip-lock bag to form about and eighth inch thick sheet. I keep the bags in the freezer and break off a piece of chopped garlic when I need it.

How long can you keep the pickled garlic? Does it need to be refrigerated?

[Lunker]

Thanks Labrat Ill try it. I keep them refridgerated. So far Ive kept them with no problem in the fridge for about 3 months now. I have a garlic press I squish them in and shreds them instantly. The garlic flavired vinegar I use in a dishes too.

Garlic out of homemade dill pickels is just as good

This is good stuff, I made it a while ago and I would eat cloves the way my wife eats candy...:D

I didnt use the white wine, didnt have any, plus I like things a little more sour. I think I just used some water.

do you just eat the cloves or do you use them in cooking or both? I make pickles every year and often pickle any left over garlic cloves and they are more popular than the pickles. I have never heard of orange peel and vinigerHMMM sounds interesting! Thanks for the idea!

Was at Sam's club today. They got peeled garlic cloves with the produce stuff. I think is was $2.82 for a pound or two.

[kbkrause]

I just eat them, and they are very good sliced thin and served with salad. You could also use the vineger in a salad dressing.

[Lunker]

There good enough to eat as pickles are but I only made one jar so I save them for cooking so far. Its tough tho!!!:D
