DIRECTIONS
- In a small nonreactive saucepan, combine the vinegar, sherry, salt, peppercorns, bay leaf, and chile, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring once or twice to dissolve the salt.
- Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic, and simmer for 30 seconds or so.
- Remove from the heat and add the fresh herb.
- Allow to cool to room temperature, uncovered, and then pour into a jar with a nonreactive lid.
- Cover tightly and let stand at room temperature for at least a day before sampling one of the smaller cloves.
- The flavor will improve steadily over the first few days, as the liquid penetrates the garlic.
- This pickle will keep, covered and refrigerated, for 2 months or more.
