Oh man... The deli down the street from the old machine shop used to have a genuine pickle barrel. We'd get our sandwiches for lunch and then fish around in that old barrel and come up with a half a dozen cloves of garlic. That was some good eating. I believe I'm going to give this recipe a try. Thanks!

If your gonna make this try to get some peeled cloves from a produce market. Sure speeds things up a tad. Do not take all the pickeled garlic to your hunting camp. I made that mistake and ended up with empty jars to bring home. Your buddies may eat as much as mine did. One guy was dunking the juice with bread after we ate all the garlic :)
