Ingredients

  • 8 heads Garlic
  • 1.5 cup White vinegar
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar can use sugar substitute
  • 1 teaspoon Peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Peel the garlic cloves and trim off the hard end. Pack the cloves into the jar. See post for tips on peeling garlic.
  • In a small pot combine vinegar, water, salt, sugar, peppercorns, and red pepper flakes. Stir together.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and then remove the pot from the heat.
  • Let the mixture cool for 2-3 minutes and then pour it into the jar until the garlic is fully covered.
  • Screw the lid on and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 months. Garlic can be used as soon as you like but we recommend letting it pickle for 2-3 weeks for the best flavor.
