Notes

Prep-Ahead: This is a perfect recipe to make ahead of time! They have to rest at least four hours, but are even better a couple of days later.
Storage: The garlic will last in the refrigerator in an airtight jar for up to 3 to 4 months.

Important: Garlic has the potential to develop botulism. This recipe is not shelf-stable, and you must keep pickled garlic in the fridge. Freezing is not recommended.
