 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 30                    Whole Head/young garlic
  2       c            Vinegar
  2       c            Soy Sauce
    2/3   c            Sugar

 1. Select young garlic heads with no sprouts. Remove
 roots and stems, wash, and peel off the outside skin.
 Place in bowl or jar and pour in the vinegar. Allow to
 stand for 4 or 5 days,, turning the heads occasionally.
 2. When the garlic has lost its harsh taste, drain off
 the vinegar. 3. Boil the soy sauce with the sugar for
 a few minutes, and let cool. Pour the cooled soy sauce
 over the garlic, seal the jar and let it sit for at
 least 2 months. 4. To serve, slice across the heads.
 Notes:
 1. Pickled garlic can be made only in early spring
 when soft, young heads are available.
 2. It is very important to let the boiled soy sauce
 cool before combining with the garlic. Cooling
 prevents the garlic from going bad. 3. Garlic prepared
 this way loses all of its characteristic strong odor.
