Daily Turn and Burp – No Fermentation Lid – 7 Days
- If not using a fermentation lid, you will need to flip your jar upside down daily. This ensures the garlic gets coated. Be sure your lid is tight before flipping. Also, if not using a fermentation lid, you will need to burp your jar by opening it daily to release the gasses.

Angie’s Notes
- Use the freshest garlic you can get for the best flavor!
- The longer you allow this to ferment, the more flavor you will have. I’ve read that some people wait an entire year.
- When ready to use, this will be more liquid than when you started. Honey garlic is great for dressings, sweet and sour chicken, or over buttered toast.
- Apple cider vinegar can be used to improve PH levels and ensure food safety.

I love eating honey garlic on buttered biscuits, drizzled over waffles, or mixed into oatmeal. Also, the honey garlic works great in salad dressings & marinades and is perfect for dipping freshly made pretzels.
Another use for honey garlic is by adding it to hummus. The honey garlic will have a more subtle taste than regular garlic. By adding fermented honey to hummus you will get the flavor of the garlic, with no garlic burn.
