Ingredients

• 4 whole garlic bulbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cups sugar
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 ounces liquid pectin
• 1 cup water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the tops off the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves slightly. Drizzle each bulb with olive oil and wrap them tightly in aluminum foil.

Step 3

Place the wrapped garlic bulbs on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and golden brown.

Step 4

Once roasted, allow the garlic to cool slightly. Squeeze the soft cloves from the skins into a bowl and mash them into a smooth paste using a fork.

Step 5

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine roasted garlic paste, sugar, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, water, and salt. Stir thoroughly to mix.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.

Step 7

Boil the mixture for 5 minutes, then stir in the liquid pectin.

Step 8

Return the mixture to a rolling boil and boil for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from the heat and skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface.

Step 10

Carefully ladle the jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.

Step 11

Seal the jars with sterilized lids and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, following standard canning safety procedures.

Step 12

Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature. You’ll hear the lids pop as they seal properly.

Step 13

Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Refrigerate after opening.
