Well, I don't know. First time I've done it. But I think it
will be okay. I didn't want to mess with trying to preserve
it in vinegar or oil or whatever. We'll see next time I need
to use it in something. My aunt buys jars of garlic puree or
whatever at the supermarket. I prefer to use fresh garlic.
The only reason I did this was to save the garlic since it would
take me forever to use it all up.
