Garlic jelly is a wonderfully unique and versatile condiment that can add a burst of flavor to any dish. Made with fresh garlic cloves and a touch of sweetness from sugar and apple cider vinegar, this jelly is both savory and tangy. It can be enjoyed as a spread on toast, a glaze for grilled meats, or even a dipping sauce for cheese and crackers. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal cooking time, you can easily make this homemade garlic jelly in your own kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 10 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 3 cups of apple cider vinegar
  • 3 cups of granulated sugar
  • 1 packet of liquid pectin
  • 1 teaspoon of salt

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
  3. Once the mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. After 20 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
  5. While the mixture is still warm, stir in the packet of liquid pectin until fully dissolved.
  6. Carefully pour the garlic jelly mixture into sterilized jars, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace at the top.
  7. Seal the jars tightly with lids and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  8. Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely before storing them in a cool, dark place.
  9. The garlic jelly will thicken as it cools and can be stored for up to 1 year in a sealed jar.
