Pickled Garlic Recipe

Directions

Prepare a small canning pot and 3 half pint jars. Place 3 new lids in a small pot of water and bring to the barest simmer. Combine vinegar, water and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Pack garlic cloves into prepared jars. Pour hot brine over the garlic cloves. Tap jars gently to remove any trapped air bubbles. If necessary, add more brine to return the headspace to 1/2 inch. Wipe rims, apply lids and rings and process jars in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes . When time is up, remove jars from canner and let cool on a folded kitchen towel. When jars are cool enough to handle, remove rings and test seals by grasping edges of lids and carefully lifting jars. If lids hold fast, seals are good. Store jars in a cool, dark place. They are ready to eat within 48 hours, but can be kept up to one year.
