Garlic Recipe---- -R

50-75 gloves of peeled garlic

1 cup of extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice or balsamic vinegar

1/2 teaspoon of sea salt

1 teaspoon of freshly ground or cracked black pepper

1 tablespoon of herbs 9oregano is nice or create your own mixture)  I use an Italian Herb mixture)

Start by peeling all that garlic.  Now bring a saucepan of water to boil.  Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat and drop garlic cloves into the hot water.  Let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes. (Use shorter time if you like a sharper raw garlic flavor.)  Remove garlic and plunge into cold water to stop the cloves from "cooking" any further.

Dissolve the salt into the lemon or balsamic vinegar.  Now make a "vinaigrette" with the olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, salt, pepper, and herbs.  Place garlic into jars and pour oil mixture to the top of the cloves.  Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 week.

After 1 week, eat straight or, for the faint of heart, slice up garlic and mix with your salad greens.  Be sure to keep refrigerated.  I don't know how long this will last in the refrigerator because I eat it up too fast.
