If you've run the garlic through a garlic press, then the flavor is usually
soaked in pretty well after only a few hours. But it's still best to let it
mature for 2-3 days. Beware of eating the pickles too early -- even with
pressed garlic -- you need to give the whole mixture time for the "raw
garlic" taste to dissolve away and evolve into the warm, buttery flavour.

I guess Fall is the season for these... :) I just made a few jars of these
myself over the past week. It saves significantly on the costs to do 3 or 4
or more jars at once. Plus you can give whole jars of them away to friends.
Say, I just discovered a new flavour improvement -- I'm not sure about
adding it to the official recipe yet, but it seems to be working so far.
See what you think:
Add 1 teaspoon of dry-roasted sunflower seed kernels (that is, the hearts/
insides, not the shells) to the mixture. Doesn't matter if they're salted
or unsalted -- there's enough salt in the pickles already. The sunflower
seeds bring out an additional warm, buttery aftertaste...really yummy.
And you can spoon out the pickled sunflower seeds afterwards too -- they're
actually not too bad!

Hmm (eek!) there's a new quote for the Quotes page. :)
