Pickled garlic has delicious garlic flavor without the sharpness of raw garlic.
You pour a simple hot brine over peeled, fresh garlic cloves and stash the jar in the fridge.
Pickled garlic is a true quick pickle with no need for canning.

Whats the Best Way To Peel Garlic?
Trim the very ends of each clove.
Oftentimes, the peel will easily pull away as you do this.

Its a satisfying chore once you see the pile of clean, peeled cloves on the counter.
Shake hard to loosen the peel.
Why Did My Garlic Turn Blue?

Its still safe to eat.
This happens from time to time when garlic and acidic ingredients like vinegar combine.
Sometimes, enzymes in garlic have a reaction in acidic environments, turning the cloves green or blue.

This is a common issue in pickling and can be tricky to avoid.
Sometimes my garlic turns blue and sometimes it doesnt.
Ive found pre-peeled garlic is more likely to turn colors, too.

Trim the brown, tough bottoms from each clove using a paring knife and peel them.
The jar should be half full or less, so work in batches if needed.
Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the salt and sugar have dissolved.

Let come to a boil and turn off the heat.
Pour the hot brine over the garlic cloves, submerging all of the cloves.
If you have extra brine, you could discard it or use it topickle something else.

Let cool on the counter until room temperature, about 1 hour.
Once cool, store in the fridge.
For the best favor, wait a week or more before enjoying.
Pickled garlic will keep for about 3 months in a sealed jar in the fridge.
If the garlic develops an unpleasant smell, grows mold, or the brine becomes cloudy, discard.
