A tangy and spicy pickled garlic recipe perfect for adding zest to your dishes.
Combine the vinegar, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan.
Stir continuously to ensure the sugar and salt dissolve evenly.
Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Keep an eye on the mixture to prevent it from boiling over.
Add the garlic and chili peppers to the boiling mixture.
Ensure the garlic is fully submerged for even pickling.
Transfer the garlic and peppers into sterilized jars using a ladle.
Pack the jars tightly but avoid crushing the garlic.
Pour the hot pickling liquid over the garlic in the jars, leaving a small headspace.
Use a funnel to make pouring easier and cleaner.
Seal the jars and let them cool to room temperature.
Ensure the lids are tightly sealed to maintain freshness.
Store the jars in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks before consuming.
The flavors will intensify over time, so patience is key.
