Pickled Garlic
Ingredients
- 10 ounces whole garlic cloves peeled
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes optional
- 1 1/4 cups white vinegar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons pickling spice
Instructions
- Pack the peeled garlic into clean, sterilized, 8-ounce jars, leaving about 1/2 an inch of headspace. If using, sprinkle in red pepper flakes.
- In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, sugar, and kosher salt.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from the heat, then stir in the pickling spice.
- Carefully pour the hot brine over the garlic in the jars, ensuring the garlic is completely covered. Gently tap the jars to remove any air bubbles and adjust to maintain a 1/2-inch headspace.
- Let the jars cool at room temperature until no longer warm to the touch, about 1 hour. Seal them tightly, then refrigerate. For the best flavor and texture, let the garlic pickle for at least 3 days before serving. The flavor will continue to develop over 1-2 weeks.
