In december I bought a whole braid of garlic, and a few months later, what I had left was starting to sprout. I threw out a few cloves, but for the most part the garlic was still firm. I decided to pickle it before it all got mushy. Once it starts sprouting, it loses its potency.
I made it with white wine vinegar, dehydrated dill - not seeds, because I didn't have any, mustard seeds, chili flakes, celery seeds, black peppercorns, ground coriander, and salt.
I hate wasting food, so this was a good way to use up enough garlic to make three 250ml jars.
I'm a foolish optimist and a hopeless daydreamer. I imagine a cozy little home with a porch, a tire swing, cherries, apples, apricots, plums, currants, berries, rhubarb, a veg patch, chickens, ducks, a cow, a goat, definitely a pet pig. This blog is about real food, which I enjoy making and growing. Sometimes I follow recipes, sometimes I use them as guidelines, and sometimes I like to read recipe books, because they're like collections of short stories, always with a happy ending. Enjoy!
