For now I will be using some of it in my tomato sauces and cooking - my hubby loves roasted garlic mash and lemon garlic shrimp so I'll be indulging his appetite :)
Cured Garlic
Last night was a good time to clean and store all that garlic that was drying out for past month. It definitely "dried" out and got much lighter in weight that I thought it would be, but it's enough for us to keep for winter and use for seeds for next year's planting in October.
Obviously the biggest heads from all varieties are going to be used for seeds. I haven't decided if I want to replant turban (soft neck) variety yet.The "for seed" garlic was planted separately and was picked much later so they don't have as much papers wrapped around it.

Yum lemon garlic shrimp. Garlic is such a wonderful vegetable.
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of it when cooking, but it raises my blood pressure so I have to be careful not to eat too much of it myself. My hubby loves it though.
DeleteBeautiful heads of garlic. Mine are still curing in the garage - it will probably be at least a couple of weeks until they are done. Normally I'd be anxious to get them cleaned up & weighed, but I've been so busy lately that I really don't mind.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how yours turns out this year. :)
