Hi. I'm Erica from FarmSteady, and today
we're going to make fermented honey garlic.
If you've never had fermented
honey garlic, you're so missing out!
This ferment is super-easy. It's just honey,
garlic, and a little bit of time. But the
resulting flavors are amazing. The whole
cloves of garlic mellow out and get
soft and sweet. And are great chopped up
into a marinade or sauce, while the honey
gets super-runny and full of savory
garlic flavor. We love using the honey in
dressings, marinades, and even drizzled
over pizza.
Trust me. It's amazing! If you're new to

Now, let's get started making fermented honey garlic.
For this recipe, you'll need
two heads of garlic and some local honey.
You only need a 16-ounce jar so
that you don't need quite so much honey
to fill it.
For your garlic, lightly crush and then
peel each clove.
This might take a bit of time.
Add your garlic cloves straight into
your jar.
Keep going.
Perfect.
Now just pour in your honey to cover the
garlic.
You'll want to leave some headspace. And
don't worry if your garlic cloves float
up to the top. That's expected. Poke
these guys back in.
And cover.
For this ferment, we like to rotate the
jar a couple times a day just to make
sure that the garlic's getting recoated in
honey. And because we're not using an
airlock with this recipe, you'll want to
open up your jar every day or two just
to let out any CO2 that's built up. We recommend fermenting this for a month
so the garlic has a chance to lose its
bite. This is one ferment that we're
actually going to tell you not to move
to the fridge. Once it's ready, you'll want
to keep it out at room temperature, and
those flavors will keep developing.
But the great part of keeping it at room
temperature means this is always at
hand. So we're drizzling this on
everything, and when the jar gets low, we
know it's time to make it again. Again, I'm Erica from FarmSteady. Thanks so much
for tuning in! Please subscribe, and check
