Fermented Garlic Honey

1. Stage

Start the ferment:  Add the garlic into a clean pint jar along with red pepper flakes, if using. Add the honey and stir. Seal the jar and store in a cool dry place.

2. Stage

Burp and shake the jar:  At least once a day for 5 days, shake the jar to make sure the garlic is covered with honey. Once bubbles start to form in the honey, open the jar once a day to release any built-up gas.

3. Stage

Store:  Allow the garlic honey to ferment for 5 days before enjoying. You can then keep the honey in your pantry for 6 months. After 3 to 4 weeks, I remove the garlic from the honey and transfer the garlic to the fridge for cooking. You might see some discoloration in the garlic—that is fine.  Use the honey drizzled on pizza, breads, toast, meats, or pretty much anything. Did you love the recipe? Leave us stars below!
