With a small knife and a lot of patience, separate the heads of garlic into cloves and peel them (optional)
Put in a jar
Stack garlic cloves in the jar to about 2 inches from the rim
Sprinkle salt over the cloves
Add water to cover
Close the jar and shake to dissolve the salt
Open. Place the insert to keep the garlic cloves well immersed in the brine. If necessary, add a little more water to cover the insert.
Close the jar
Fermentation
Place the jar on a large plate to collect any overflow.
Let it ferment at room temperature out of direct sunlight for at least 4 weeks.
Once the jar is opened, place it in the fridge. Can be kept until civilization ends (and even after).
Notes
Garlic in brine improves with time. Continue to ferment as long as desired.Start a recipe for fermented garlic when your child is born, and give them the jar for their 18th birthday 😉
