Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups garlic cloves peeled
  • 2 cups water non-chlorinated
  • 1 tablespoon salt non-iodized
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place the peeled garlic cloves into a pint jar, leaving some space at the top so that a fermentation weight can be added.
  • Make the brine by stirring the salt into the water until it dissolves.
  • Pour the brine over the garlic, covering it completely.
  • Put a fermentation weight on top of the garlic to keep it under the brine, then top the jar with a fermentation lid and airlock.
  • Let the jar sit at room temperature for 2-3 weeks to ferment.

Notes

Sometimes garlic turns blue or bluish-green when fermented - not to worry as it is harmless!
