7 TEAR OLD PICKLED GARLIC!

[SmokinAl]

OK I found a jar of garlic that I pickled with my dill pickle recipe over 7 years ago.
Judy found it in the back bottom of the fridge. I couldn't help myself I just had to give it a try.
WOW, it has a distinct garlic flavor, but not overpowering. It's almost sweet.
I'm going to take a few & put them in EVOO, and have them as snacks on Christmas.
Here is a couple of photo's:

My god are these good!
I may have to start another batch for 2026.
I can't even explain the flavor, it's just awesome!!
And with EVOO on a slice of crusty french bread! OMG!!!
My Christmas guests are gonna be blown away with this.
And the crazy thing is I didn't even know I had it!!

I have had the "forgotten pickled garlic".As you said, it has a hard to explain taste, other than outstanding.It sure didn't last long, try it on a Caesar salad!

Thanks guys!
I have some that I just put in a jar with EVOO to get nice & ready for Christmas!
Jabiru , the recipe for the brine is exactly the same one I use for my dill pickles, except I didn't put any dill in the garlic.
