Exploring the unique pickled garlic
recipes
One of the most unique dishes that you can create using garlic is pickled garlic. It is a very popular
recipe and an expensive commodity if you purchase in the grocery. For a bottle set of garlic in vinegar, it may
seem like a rip off but indeed, this recipe is a hit for many people. You can add this on many dishes or as it is.
You can place it on sauces to enhance the flavor of the recipe. It is therefore an important ingredient for many
households. Since it is an expensive dish it is much better if you can do your own pickling process. If you want,
there are easy steps that you have to follow.
There are 2 common variations to the recipe. Let us deal with the first one: you will need vinegar,
sugar, garlic and spices. First, you boil vinegar with sugar. Next you place the garlic and spices. After some
time, you remove them from heat and let them cool down a little before placing in glass containers with tight lids.
You place garlic and the liquid mixture. Refrigerate the mixture and wait 3 weeks before opening and consuming the
product. The second one: you do the same boiling process with the vinegar and sugar. However, this time, you place
the garlic cloves and the spices on the jar and then, you carefully fill the jar with the liquid solution. Tightly
close it and then, wait for another 3 weeks before opening the lid and using the pickled garlic.
There are so many spices that can be included in pickled garlic. You can place dill, and celery seeds. You
can also choose a hotter alternative like pepper, habanero and others. There are also pickling mixes that you can
use so you do not have to experiment. However, the most exciting part is finding out which combination will best
suit particular dishes that you want to make. Therefore, experimenting is still a very useful process and can
really help you in the long run. The normal vinegar for this recipe is the white cane vinegar but if you want to
change it up a little, you can use red wine vinegar. You can also just use salt to taste.
Blue garlic?
It all depends on the kind of water you used. If you used tap water for your water, there might be trace
amounts of copper in the liquid and in time, it could result to the bluish color of the garlic. Do not freak out,
it is not a sign of spoilage. It just turned the color blue and there is nothing to fear about it. You can still
eat it. Of course, you have to check and make sure that you time your use and only pickle the amount that you can
really consume. What recipes will it demand? Are you going to use it for sauces and salads? Therefore, you might
want to pickle 1 or 2 heads of garlic and that could suffice.
