Honey Pickled Garlic

Whole garlic cloves slow-pickled in a honey-apple cider brine until mellow, tangy, and surprisingly sweet. The garlic loses its sharpness and becomes something almost confectionery โ€” slice thin onto charcuterie boards, chop into vinaigrettes, or eat straight as an immune-boosting snack.

Honey Pickled Watermelon Rind
