Servings: 12
Equipment
- 1 mason jar
Ingredients
- 2-3 heads garlic cloves removed from head
- 1-2 c olive oil or enough to fill rest of jar and submerge cloves
Instructions
- Remove whole garlic cloves from the whole head and put into a clean and sterilized mason jar. Fill the rest of the jar so cloves are submerged and there is not much air left inside the jar. (choose a jar fit to size how much you want to make, there are small, medium and large out there)
- * You can add herbs of your choice and/or red pepper flakes into the jar for heat if you would like now.
- Seal the lid and place inside your refrigerator for at least 24 hours. When using, remove lid, stir once, use the amount of oil you'd like and ensure lid is tightly closed again. Store again in the fridge. It will stay fresh this way for 1-2 weeks.
- * Always smell every time you open the lid to ensure there is not a rancid odor, if so discard. If you see any mold inside, discard.
- If you want to roast cloves first, remove and set inside a baking dish. Cover with olive oil so they are submerged. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 for 20 minutes or until soft to your preference. ALWAYS make sure contents in jars are completely cooled to room temperature before sealing or bacteria will grow.
