Pickled Garlic

This recipe was given to me by a friend - it is amazing! I use jars half the size of jam jars - they hold only one head of garlic cloves or less.

• Ready In: 3 hrs
• Yields: 48 jars

Ingredients

• 1  quart apple cider vinegar
• 3  quarts water
• 1⁄8 teaspoon alum
• 1  cup pickling salt (I usually use just under a cup so it is a little less salty)
•  garlic clove, peeled
•  fresh dill sprig

Directions

1. Place sprig of dill in each jar (and a hot pepper or two if you like them to have a little bite).
2. Pour boiling brine over garlic cloves. Seal and place in a hot water bath 10 - 15 minutes.
3. Cool on towels or newspaper.
