Title: Garlic in Vinegar: A Simple Way to Preserve and Boost Flavor

For a spicier twist, add a few sliced jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the jar. You can also substitute the vinegar with a mix of vinegar and white wine for a more complex flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can I use this method for unpeeled garlic?
A: It’s best to use peeled cloves, as vinegar penetrates more effectively and reduces the risk of spoilage.

Q: Is this the same as fermenting garlic?
A: No, this is a pickling method using vinegar. Fermentation uses salt and allows natural bacteria to create lactic acid.

Q: Can I use flavored vinegar?
A: Yes, but make sure it has at least 5% acidity to preserve the garlic safely.
