Step 1

Wash and prepare either 3-pint jars or 6 half-pint jars. Add dry spices to the bottom of each jar (using half as much for half-pint jars).

Step 2

Make a brine by heating vinegar, water/wine, sugar, and salt to boiling.

Step 3

Add peeled garlic cloves and boil for 1-minute.

Step 4

Use a slotted spoon to scoop hot garlic out of the brine and pack it into the prepared canning jars on top of the dry spices.  Be sure to leave 1/2 inch headspace.

Step 5

Pour the boiling brine over the garlic, still maintaining ½ inch headspace.
