Garlic – Ripley Farm

Availability: August-January

Storage tips: Store at room temperature. For long term storage, store in a cool dry place, and keep an eye on it and use up any that needs to be. In the fridge can work, but do not put garlic in a plastic bag because they won’t be able to breathe.

How to eat: Garlic is great minced in stir-fries, in mashed potatoes, on pizza, used with butter on bread, in salad dressings, and roasted with root vegetables.

How to preserve: BEST: In vinegar! Peel your cloves, put them into a glass jar, and pour vinegar over them. They'll keep like that with no flavor deterioration for 1+ year!
