January 14, 2026 -Jersey City, NJFermented Garlic Honey.
A simple preservation project that turns two staple ingredients into something deeper, sharper, and more useful over time. Raw garlic softens, honey thins, and the mixture develops a savory-sweet complexity that works in both kitchen and seasonal wellness use.
Low-effort preservation, strong flavor return, and a practical pantry staple made from ingredients with long histories of culinary use.
Current focus:
Batch timing, flavor development, garlic-to-honey ratios, and best uses for both cloves and infused honey.
What we’re learning:
Time does the heavy lifting. Early batches taste hot and raw; later batches become rounded, mellow, and more integrated.
Use the honey in dressings, marinades, tea, or over roasted vegetables. Save the cloves for sauces, spreads, and anything that wants a sweet punch with bite.
