Ingredients
- garlic - 2 heads
- black pepper - 10-15 peas
- bottled water - 500 ml
- brown sugar - 40 g
- table salt - 20 g
- bay leaf - 3 pcs.
- table vinegar 9% - 120 ml
- dried thyme - 1 sprig
- hot red pepper - 1 pc.
- dried rosemary - 1 sprig
Step cooking
- First things first, peel two large heads of garlic, then carefully rinse the cloves and dry them with paper towels.
- Pour about 500 ml of bottled water into the stewpan and send it to the stove.
- We send 10-15 peas of black or allspice, 40 g of brown or white sugar and 20 g of table salt to the liquid.
- There we add 3 bay leaves and pour 120 ml of table vinegar.
- Slightly warm the mixture, and then send whole cloves of garlic into it.
- We bring the marinade to a boil, after which we reduce the fire to a minimum and boil the components for no more than 2 minutes. If you boil the marinade for longer, then the garlic will become soft, and your efforts will be wasted.
- Remove the stewpan with the contents from the stove and immediately remove the garlic from the marinade, laying it separately.
- We sterilize a small glass jar in which we will pickle garlic.
- First, fill the jar with garlic, then add a sprig of dried thyme, a sprig of rosemary, as well as a bay leaf, which was in the marinade and a small whole burning red pepper.
- Pour the components with marinade and tightly clog the jar.
- We send the pickled garlic to a cool place for at least 2 weeks, for a maximum of 1 year.
