    Excess Garlic

    Hi All

    I grew excessive amounts of garlic for some reason - can it be preseved in some way?

    There is a recipe for pickled garlic in the river cottage book but I never have much luck following the recipes in there , they always seem to go wrong.

    Thanks - Gill

    I'd rather be a comma than a full stop.

    Garlic usually keeps well when made into a string and hung somewhere cool and airy. Any particular reason why you want to preserve it some other way?

      Not really just an excuse to use some of my new jars!

        I've picked garlic this year, really tasty it is too, a softer milder flavour than fresh but very good. I didn't use the RC recipe but do find that all the recipes in there are fab - which ones have you had problems with, I've found them pretty reliable?

        Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

        Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

          I find they never make the quantities that it says - always seems to be a lot less.

          Having said that I did try and make the pickled runner beans last night but they ended up looking like something that our biology lab used to have in the cupboard ( i think it was tapeworms ) - I just couldn't face them so they got chucked!

            Take it you've not done the glutney then - that made so much I couldn't fit it all in my maslin pan! Other than that they always seem to be about right, but some of the recipes do quote against smaller sized jars.

              well I did make the seasonal chutney - it was still a bit too runny so I put it back in my pan to rescue it and ended up burning it to a crisp ......

              I'm going to do the rosehip syrup when I get my new mouli.

                  only if you are a vampire .. there are only two of us and I-PIG and cats don't really do garlic as far as I can gather ( although he likes curry/chilli for some reason).

                  I'd like to to be able to plait it up but when I tried it looks like a 5 year old had done it.
