Ingredients and Method

Ingredients

  • 4-5 large heads of garlic, cloves peeled
  • 2 fresh bay leaves
  • 300ml cider vinegar
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp sea salt
  • A pinch of dried chilli flakes
  • 2 tsp coriander seeds, crushed

Method

  1. Equally split the garlic into 2 250ml jars, then pop 1 bay leaf in each. Or put the garlic and bay leaves into 1 500ml jar.
  2. Pour the the rest of the ingredients into a medium pan with 200ml water. Bring to a simmer and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
  3. Pour the liquid into two jars (or one jar) and seal. We recommend leaving for at least 7 days.
  4. They'll last for up to three months in a cupboard or pantry. Perfect to serve on an antipasti board.
