5 | Whole | Garlic bulbs |
2 | Cups | Red wine vinegar |
2 | Cups | Water |
1 | Cup | Sugar |
6 | Whole | Cloves |
2 | Tbsp. | Peppercorns |
2 | Tbsp. | Salt |
Separate garlic cloves and peel. Place all ingredients in a large heavy bottom saucepan. Bring to a boil; Cook for 10 minutes, stirring from time to time. Reduce heat to moderate and cook 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Transfer to a large glass or ceramic jar large (with a tight fitting lid) enough to hold the garlic and the liquid. Store in the refrigerator for two weeks. These should keep indefinitely, covered and refrigerated.
