Pickled Sweet and Sour Garlic

Pickled Sweet and Sour Garlic

Whole heads of fresh garlic get a long salt soak to mellow their bite before landing in a sweet and sour brine that keeps them crisp and mellow.

Instructions

    Find a large basin and pour in cold boiled water, sprinkle 50 grams of salt, put in the garlic and marinate for 24 hours to remove the pungent taste, changing the water once in between.

    Place the soaked garlic bulbs upside down on an iron rack to drain, then flip them over to air dry until completely dry once the top has dried.

    Put the vinegar in a pot, add sugar, and simmer over low heat. Cook until bubbles appear in the pot, turn off the heat, and let it cool.

    Pickled sweet garlic loses the pungency of raw garlic and instead is tangy and sweet, appetizing and refreshing, with a crunchy bite.
