How's things on RFC? Still much the same by the looks of it
![]() I'm looking for some alternative ways to preserve garlic. I've done it in oil before but am interested in other methods. My favourite way is to simply hang the bulbs in a cool, dark and dry place, but that only seems to work for 8 months or so before it deteriorates and I'd like to make it last until next harvest. Has anyone tried freezing the cloves, either peeled or unpeeled? If so, what is it like after thawing. TIA for any ideas. |

I don't really have a cool, dark place so every so often I buy five or six garlic bulbs, peel, drop in FP and chop - then I put in a ziplock and freeze. Everytime I want to add a little garlic, just break off a piece and use. Keeps flavour perfectly. |

I have purchased a large quantity of peeled cloves and frozen them in small containers. I thought they turned out really good. Janet US |

I might do a bit of both - mince some up and keep some whole cloves too, as sometimes I like to use whole or chopped up cloves in big chunks. I might try freezing some whole bulbs (unpeeled) too so I can add them to roasts. |
