4 Heads garlic
2 c Red wine vinegar
2 c Water
1 c Sugar
6 Whole cloves (the spice)
2 tb Black peppercorns
Separate garlic cloves, but do not 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 enough to hold garlic and the liquid. Tightly
seal. Refrigerate at least 1 month before serving. The garlic
improves with age for as long as 15 years.
