Pickled garlic is a tangy, flavorful addition to a relish tray, potato salad, and more! Make this quick and easy recipe to keep on hand for all your favorite dishes.
Separate garlic cloves and peel. To easily peel, blanch the cloves in a pot of boiling water for 1 minute, then transfer to an ice bath until cool enough to handle.
Divide pickling spice and cloves among 2 8-ounce jars or 1 16-ounce jar.
In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, and pickling salt. Bring to a boil, whisking to dissolve sugar and salt.
Pour over garlic cloves, filling the jar with ¼-inch headroom. The cloves should be completely covered, but you might not use all the brine.
Screw on lid(s) and let cool to room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator.
Notes
For pantry storage, process jars in a water bath canner for 10 minutes.
