Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Brine
In a saucepan, combine the water, white wine, and vinegar. Add the sugar and a pinch of salt, then bring the mixture to a boil to dissolve the solids.
Pack the Jars
While the brine is heating, fill clean, sterilized canning jars about one-third of the way with the peeled garlic cloves.
Layer the Aromatics
To each jar, add one bay leaf, a few allspice berries, and a few black peppercorns. Also, add a sprig of fresh rosemary and thyme for aroma.
Fill and Seal
Continue filling the jars with the remaining garlic cloves. Pour a teaspoon of oil into each jar, then pour the hot brine over the garlic to cover it completely. Seal the jars tightly.
Sterilize
Place the sealed jars in a large pot of water and sterilize by boiling for approximately 20 minutes.
Mature
Allow the jars to cool and then store them in a cool, dark place. For the best flavor, let the garlic mature for at least a week before enjoying.
