27 Reviews of Pickled Garlic with Hot Pepper

Here is another rave review for your pickled garlic, Bergy. I made them for my DH because he adores garlic, so I knew he would find them tasty. But, I admit I was pretty leary of munching on a garlic clove myself. But, I gave one a tiny nibble and couldn't believe how delicious they were. Why don't these make your breath stink, which was my biggest concern. I had visions of sleeping on the couch after DH indulged in a handful of these hot babies. But, I snuggled as usual with no disturbance to my sleep. I also "cheated" and bought a huge jar - about 4 cups - of whole, peeled garlic. It's in the vegetable section of my grocery store. Normally I don't use these, preferring to cut and peel my own, but these are a wonderful time saver and are worth the small sacrifice of flavor, I think. 5 stars for you, Bergy, and a round of applause!

Easy and Excellent. How much better could it be? Great flavor with the jalapeno peppers but I am tempted to try this with habaneros just to 'heat' 'em up a little more. Definite keeper and definitely eager to see garlic season arrive.

I entered this at our local fair and won a blue ribbon!! I added sliced sweet red peppers for presentation purposes.

A helpful tip for people who hate peeling garlic as much as I do. If you blanch the garlic cloves first they peel like a dream. Here's how: separate the cloves then drop them (in their skins) into boiling water for about 60 seconds. Using slotted spoon, take them from the boiling water and immerse them in ice bath (I use my kitchen sink) for a minute. Then juse peel them up

Great recipe Bergy. The garlic was a drag to peel but otherwise it is a good recipe....and soooooo tasty. I charred the capsicum (pepper) over a flame and then steamed, cooled and removed the skin, did give a lovely roasted taste to it. I didn't have any really flavoursome chilis available so I used some cayenne peppers...they were ok but next time I will definately try something with a bit more zap to it. Took these to work (catering business) and everyone loved them, the jar of garlic was used up in several antipasto dishes. Guess I will be making some more soon.

What fabulous flavor! I didn't wait the full 2 weeks as I had a cold and figured that this would be a great source of Vit C. The flavor was overwhelming at first, but once I had chewed on a few to get a good feel for them I was very pleased. These are great by themselves, chopped into tuna, or slivered into a pasta salad. And there is an added benefit, much to my delight: they cleared my sinuses like a dream, without drowsiness!

Well, I'm adding this after Dad, even though he tried them first when I made them Simply delicious. Had a hard time waiting two weeks for them though, and I imagine I will have an even harder time next time I make them since I know how good they are, thank you so much.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to make these again. I hate peeling garlic! My mother asked for the recipe and for extra jars to give to her friends. What better review could there be. Thanks for putting this on here.

I gave this to my mother for mothers Day. When she tasted it she demanded the recipe. Bad thing is she is a dental Hygienenist and eats them on her lunch break.

I am really enjoying my little jar of pickled garlic, although I didn't find the garlic taste diminished much from the fresh cloves (a good thing, as far as I'm concerned!). For peppers, I used four baby habs grown in our garden, which just gave it a nice heat. My habs come out very small though, so if you're using full sized ones just a single pepper would probably sufice!
