Pickled Garlic
If you've got a lot of garlic on your hands and want a way to preserve it, then try this easy pickle. A simple pickling brine with cider vinegar, sugar, peppercorns and mustard seeds will turn your leftover garlic cloves into a tangy pickle that's delicious served as part of a ploughman's, alongside cheese and cold meats or on the side of your favourite barbecue dishes.
Ingredients
- 300g garlic
- A pinch of dried chilli flakes or 1 whole dried chilli
- 200ml cider vinegar
- 50g sugar
- 8 black peppercorns
- ½ tsp mustard seeds
Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 5 mins

Method
1. Sterilise 2 x 225g jars or 1 x 450g jar by washing them in hot soapy water, rinsing them clean and then drying them in an oven set to 110°C/Fan 90°C/Gas ¼. Alternatively, put through a short dishwasher cycle to sterilise them.
2. Peel the garlic cloves and add them to the sterilised jars. Sprinkle a little dried chilli into the jars. Set aside. in a pan.
3. Pour the vinegar into a pan and add the sugar, peppercorns and mustard seeds. Stir well, then set the pan on a high heat and bring to the boil. Once it's boiling, turn the heat down a little and boil for 2 mins. This is your pickling liquid.
4. Pour the pickling liquid over the garlic, covering the garlic cloves completely.
5. Seal the jars with vinegar-proof lids and store somewhere dry and dark for at least 2 weeks, checking to make sure the garlic stays covered by the brine. The pickled garlic will keep for a year submerged in the pickling brine.
