KITCHEN TIP: HOW TO PRESERVE GARLIC



Kitchen Tip: How To Preserve Garlic image

Preserving garlic, also called pickling garlic, is one of the easiest ways to save your garlic harvest. There's nothing better than having fresh garlic ready to use all year long.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Garlic (heads broken apart and cloves peeled)
Distilled vinegar
Large pot for boiling the vinegar
Jars for storing the garlic

Steps:

  • Break apart your heads of garlic and peel the cloves. Place the peeled cloves of garlic in a large mixing bowl and fill with water. Use your fingertips to scrub any dirt off of the cloves. Once the cloves are cleaned, transfer them to a large strainer and rinse well.
  • Depending on when your garlic was harvested, you might have very few brown spots on the cloves. My garlic was harvested late this year, so the ends were quite brown with some spots on the cloves as well. Use a small paring knife to trim the spots and then transfer the cleaned and trimmed cloves back to the strainer. Rinse again.
  • Bring the vinegar to a boil in a large pot. For several hundred cloves of garlic, I used about 8 cups of vinegar. Place the clean garlic cloves into small jars. (I prefer to use small vs large jars to avoid contaminating a huge amount if the jar is open for too long in the refrigerator.) I filled 10 half pint jars with garlic. Once the vinegar has boiled, pour it over the garlic and screw the lids on tight.
  • Let the jars come to room temperature on the counter overnight and then store in the refrigerator. This will keep in the refrigerator for up to a year. Enjoy!

STORING FRESH GARLIC



Storing Fresh Garlic image

We had a bumper crop of garlic this year and I drove myself nuts trying to find the best way to preserve the flavor all year! I tried roasting it but that didn't work for all recipes. I worried about spoilage and botulism when stored in oil. I read that storing in vinegar gives an acidic flavor to some recipes! Ugh! I came across this method an an agriculture site! Not only was this easy from start to finish it was convenient too! The only real work involved is peeling the garlic but that went fast while watching a show of tv or maybe even visiting with a friend- who can share the job! The system requires an amount of garlic so I used 1 head but use as much garlic as you like. Of course, there is no substitute for the flavor and texture of fresh, raw garlic! I found that this method preserves the flavor best imho. Enjoy!

Time 10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 head fresh garlic (or as many as you have)
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Remove papery husk from garlic and peel each clove. Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Place peeled garlic in a single layer on the covered cookie sheet. Place in freezer for at least one hour.
  • Remove cookie sheet with frozen individual cloves and place garlic cloves in a plastic zip top bag, Now you can remove one or more cloves as your recipes directs.
  • Garlic cloves do not become mushy and hold their shape well but are softer than fresh. I have used the frozen cloves in lots of ways from smashing them into a paste to slicing and chopping the cloves. The flavor stays nicely as well.

  • Dry It Out. The process of drying garlic out is also called ‘curing.’ This means that the garlic is dried out so it won’t go bad for many months to come.
  • Wrap in Newspaper. Your first option for preserving garlic is to simply wrap the bulbs in a newspaper. This will keep each bulb from touching another.
  • Layer in Newspaper. This preservation method isn’t as good in my opinion because the garlic isn’t wrapped individually which could cause some rot to form.
  • Layer with Straw. Whenever you store any type of vegetable in a root cellar it is always a good idea to use some type of barrier to protect the vegetables from just lying on top of each other.
  • Can It. If you have ever purchased minced garlic from the store, then you probably purchased it in a jar. What a lot of people don’t realize is that if something can be canned for resale in a store, then you can usually do it from home too.
