Ohh we’ve done just about every type of fermented garlic you can think of but never this.
Is it just honey + garlic?
Yeah just honey and garlic. It's got to be raw honey so you get all the good bugs in there to cause the fermentation.
Take the garlic out and throw away the honey, then throw out the garlic too.
I have scary red flag warnings tucked-away in my kitchen "files" (unavailable to me now...) about garlic and botulism and that's why we don't... ?? do anything anaerobic with garlic??
might be worth your while to check??
Yeah it's the raw garlic but also the honey that can be a breeding grown for botulinum. My understanding is there is a certain pH required for it to grow so I'll be testing the end product and adding apple cider vinegar to increase pH if needed for safety.
No experience but encouragement, keep at it
It's best to make a few slits in the garlic cloves with a knife so that they can mix more easily with the honey.
I sort of squashed them with a spoon so the split open a little.
I'm surprised by how much it's changed in a couple of weeks! Now finding things to do with it is the next step.
