Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 2 minutes
Ingredients:
4 heads garlic
1 pint jar
3 dried red chiles, such as arbol (optional)
1 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
Preparation:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, separate garlic into cloves. Drop cloves into water and cook 30 seconds. Drain and rinse with cold water. Peel cloves.
Put cloves in pint jar and arrange chiles in jar, if you like.
Combine vinegar, salt, and sugar. Pour over garlic to cover (you may have some leftover). Cover jars with lids and store in refrigerator for at least 1 month before using. Garlic will keep, chilled, for at least a year.
I also like to do this with minced garlic, so I have it on hand any time a recipe calls for it. Also, I sometimes bring the vinegar, salt and sugar to a quick boil before I pour it over the garlic. Doing this means you can make larger portions and can them, not worrying about refrigerating. Please use proper canning procedures.
