This recipe offers a flavorful twist on traditional pickled garlic, perfect for enhancing your dishes.
Combine the vinegar, water, salt, sugar, dill, mustard seeds, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan.
Stir the mixture well to dissolve the salt and sugar completely.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Keep an eye on the pot to prevent the brine from boiling over.
Add the garlic cloves to the boiling brine and let it return to a boil.
Ensure the garlic is fully submerged in the brine for even pickling.
Carefully ladle the garlic and brine into sterilized jars, leaving some headspace.
Use a funnel to make transferring the brine easier and mess-free.
Seal the jars tightly with sterilized lids and let them cool to room temperature.
Ensure the lids are properly sealed to prevent contamination.
Store the jars in a cool, dark place for at least three weeks before consuming.
The waiting time allows the flavors to meld and develop fully.
