Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound garlic heads cloves separated and peeled (about 5 heads)
  • 1 tablespoon whole mustard seeds
  • 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Pack garlic cloves into 5 sterilized ½-cup jars. Divide mustard seeds and peppercorns between the jars.
  • In a small saucepan over high heat, combine vinegar, sugar, and salt. When mixture begins to boil, pour over jarred garlic. Top jars with lids and rings, gently tightening each ring just enough to close it.
  • Process jars in a water-bath canner for 10 minutes. Let jars sit for a week before opening and use within 1 year.
