Fermented Garlic
This is easy to make and easy on the wallet but carries a big punch of flavour
Fill a sterile jam jar with peeled garlic cloves
Add enough unpasteurized liquid honey to cover the cloves
Cover with a clean cloth or coffee filter and fasten with an elastic band
everyday give it a swirl
Test after 30 days. The garlic will darken and become fragrant and the honey will become darker and runnier.
Use in cooking and to soothe a sore throat.
