Helpful hints

•  Suggested uses for roasted garlic:
  • use roasted garlic alone as a spread
  • add to recipes to add a mellow garlic taste
  • add it to mayonnaise, salad dressing or bread dough
  • mix a little olive oil to the puree and add it to hot pasta with chopped basil
  • mash garlic with cream cheese and serve on crackers or bread (add fresh dill to this for a nice spread)
• An alternative way to roast garlic is to slice 1/4-inch from the top of the garlic head and leave the cloves intact. Bake until garlic is soft enough to easily squeeze out from the head.
• Vinegar acidifies the garlic to help preserve it. For safety, throw out homemade garlic products after 10 days.
