Interesting, we should try to make a bit of that. Have you tried to make black garlic?

Black garlic is fantastic.

We cheat a bit. My wife uses this machine. Usually good results.
Excellent on pizza or in salads. We put it on cheese slices too.

I grow a lot of garlic too, anyone care to share info on how to make black garlic?

For a couple hundred dollars you buy an oven that cooked the garlic for days. A lady on Pender Island does it, her black garlic is awesome. I don't remember the whole process.

As per above from Copper Moon, I am looking hard at this one: https://www.amazon.ca/Garlic-Fermenter-Function-Fermention-Kimchi/dp/B07V3V546W?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1

That looks like a nice unit. Hard to believe it takes one 500 hrs of cooking to get black garlic.

Our garlic has gone nuts in the last two weeks. I guess they like this cooler weather.
Where as the other plants have hardly grown and they need more sun.

mine too, 2' tall with scapes, not curled yet though, big thick stalks.

 

[Rain City]

I'm not kidding, this one row is 4 feet tall. Just starting scapes now. They're over an inch thick. The picture doesn't do them justice.

My black garlic turned out awesome! Very easy to do, creamy molasses and balsamic flavors.

Would this be a good use of last year's garlic? New stuff is coming.
