In the fall of 2006, I tried an experiment to freeze garlic and had great success! In the early winter months, when our supply of Hood River Garlic is dwindling down to nothing I get creative and try to think up new ways to store garlic.

Georgia Fire is a favorite as well for its spicy hot flavor. Chop up your cloves using what ever your garlic chopper of choice may be. I prefer my mini chopper because I [...]
