Sweet Garlic Bread and Asian Style Cooking Enhancer
This recipe can be used for so many different things. It is said to be a cold remedy, great for savory dishes that involve a little sweetness, marinades, dressings and Asian style cooking. It involves 3 ingredients and #patience.
Ingredients:
5 cloves of garlic
1 pint mason jar
Raw Honey
Directions:
Step 1
Place all the peeled cloves in a jar that is not much bigger than the total quantity you want to make.
Step 2
Pour enough honey over the garlic to submerge it completely. Leave about two inches headspace at the top of the jar.
Step 3
Place the garlic in a cool, dark place to ferment. (A pantry works nicely.) In a few days you’ll notice some bubbling in the jar – this is perfectly normal and a good indicator of healthy fermentation. (If you didn’t leave enough room the honey may bubble over, making a sticky mess.) The garlic will also float to the top, but this isn’t a concern as it’s well-coated in honey.
Step 5
Leave the Honeyed Garlic to ferment for about a month. At this point fermentation should be done, and you’ll notice that the garlic and honey have turned darker. There will also be a cloudy layer at the bottom. When you open the jar, you’ll find that the honey has become quite runny and can be stirred back together easily.
You can make as little or as much of this as you want, but keep in mind that peeling a lot of garlic can be a challenge. I found that it took about 5 small bulbs of garlic for a 1 pint jar.
