Ingredients for Spicy Pickled Garlic:
Water - 8 cups
Garlic cloves - 3 cups
Coriander seeds - 12
Allspice - 3 (whole)
Peppercorns - 6 (whole)
Dried hot chilies - 3 (split)
Bay leaf - 1 (torn into pieces)
Sugar - 1 tbsp.
Salt - 1 1/2 tsp.
White vinegar - 1 1/2 cups
Method of preparing the Spicy Pickled Garlic:
In a large pan, bring the water to a boil. Add in the garlic and
boil for 1 minute.
Divide the coriander seeds, allspice, peppercorns, chilies, and the
bay leaf among 3 sterilized jars.
Drain the garlic and pack it into the three jars, leaving a small
gap on the top.
In another pan, combine the sugar, salt, and vinegar. Bring the
brine to a boil, then spread the hot liquid among the jars.
The garlic
should be completely covered in brine but a gap should be left at the
top of the jar. Seal the jars.
Store the jars in the refrigerator for 1 month before use. The
garlic will stay fresh in the fridge for 1 year.
