How to pickle garlic and garlic arrows for the winter

Many inventions of garlic harvesting have been invented, the ingredients of which are not only “roots” (heads of garlic), but also “tops” (garlic arrows). Let's discuss how to pickle garlic and garlic arrows for the winter.

Garlic is a perennial plant growing in beds, with a pungent odor and a sharp (tearing) taste. It did not immediately become edible and for a long time was used as a talisman, to which magical properties were attributed, and later, as a valuable medicine and seasoning for food.

It was only in the 19th century that this culture came to Russia, giving compatriots their useful properties that they have since been trying to preserve for as long as possible, for the future.

The most successful option for maintaining the beneficial properties of garlic is pickling. You can marinate whole heads, cloves, cloves, arrows. Entire heads are pre-cleaned from the upper dense layer of the peel and salted for a week in 5% saline. The teeth may not be subjected to such processing. The simplest classic recipes include a minimal set of ingredients.

2. It is more convenient to store salting in a 3-liter jar. The bottom of the can is filled with salt, garlic bulbs are laid at a certain distance from each other.
3. The next layer of salt should fill all the gaps between the heads and hide them.
4. Next, the next layer of garlic and salt is laid out. This arrangement continues until the jar is full.
