Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large garlic heads
- 2½ cups of white vinegar (at least 5% acidity)
- 1 cup of white wine
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp pickling salt
- 1 tbsp white sugar
Instructions
- Start by washing the garlic heads in cool, running water.
- Wash either six half-pint jars or three pint jars, along with canning lids and screw bands in hot, soapy water.
- Place the canning jars in boiling water for 10 minutes.
- Break the garlic heads into individual garlic cloves. Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.
- In a large pot, mix the brine ingredients.
- Bring the pot to a boil and then reduce the heat and allow it to simmer for one minute.
- Add the peeled garlic cloves to the pot and let them soak for one minute.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic cloves into the hot, sanitized canning jars, keeping ½-inch headspace.
- Remove any air bubbles with a bubble popper tool and add the pickling brine to the jars, maintaining the 1/2-inch headspace.
- Wipe the jar rims with a damp paper towel.
- Apply the canning lids over the jars. Place the screw bands around the jars and screw until fingertip tight.
- Prepare a water bath canner by filling it halfway with boiling water. Place the canning rack inside and transfer the jars of pickled garlic into the canner using canning tongs.
- Process the jars in a water bath canner for 10 minutes, ensuring they are fully submerged with 1-2 inches of water above the tops of the jars. Do not begin timing until the water is at a full rolling boil.
- Remove the jars from the water bath canner with a jar lifter. Place them on a cushioned countertop to rest undisturbed.
- Let the jars come to room temperature before removing the screw bands.
- Store your pickled garlic at room temperature or in the refrigerator for long-term storage.
