 preserving garlic Yesterday I harvested a dozen or so garlic bulbs that were ready ( they weree huge!!!  ) , but, I think because the ground was so soggy, the outer layer of skin has come off some of them completely as I took them out of the soil  .This will mean I can't dry them to store I guess, so does anyone know how else to store it? Could I freeze whole cloves do you think and just take them out as I need them? Help!

| Glad you got such a good crop Vicki. Yes you can freeze garlic but I find the smell gets all through the freezer no matter what kind of container I put it in. I'm sure other grapes said they didn't have this problem. Maybe somebody else knows a way to preserve them in oil. That would be interesting.

| I think its dangerous doing it in oil - botulism? Maybe it can be pickled? I'll have a hunt on the internet - I have to do something soon as my kitchen is decidedly pungent at the moment!!

| Might try this recipe I've found for some of it! This is a very good way of keeping large cloves of garlic. Yummy in the winter. Peel cloves & pack into clean jars. Bring to the boil :- 3 cups water 3 cups distilled vinegar 1/4 cup of salt. Remove from heat Let stand for 10 mins Pour over garlic cloves to top of jar. Leave to cool then refrigerate.
