Servings: 1 jar
Calories: 447kcal
Ingredients
- 10 heads garlic
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons salt
Instructions
- Once your garlic is peeled add the raw cloves to a mason jar so they are 1 inch from the top.
- Prepare a salt brine by dissolving salt in water.
- Pour brine into the mason jar until the garlic cloves are covered.
- Optional: add any additional flavourings such as pickling spices or fresh oregano or basil.
- Put the lid on the jar and store at room temperature in a dark place like your closet or cupboard.
- Open the jar once a day to release carbon dioxide. Fermentation fans call this "burping."
- Continue this process for 3-4 weeks until fermentation bubbles no longer form.
- Move the jar to your fridge once fermentation has completed. Fermented garlic gets more delicious as it ages!
