Honey-Confit Garlic (Fermented)

Place the serving of peeled garlic into a sterilized jar.

Completely cover the garlic with your preferred honey.

Add the desired chili pepper (e.g., bird's eye or biquinho).

Seal the container tightly with the lid.

Store the sealed jar in a dry place, like a pantry, without initial refrigeration.

During the first four to six weeks, slightly open the jar every day to release the accumulated gas (carbon dioxide), and close it again.

After the curing period (about one month), the garlic will be soft and have a reddish tint. At this point, transfer the jar to the refrigerator for later preservation.
