Preserving garlic in olive oil not only extends its shelf life but also infuses the oil with a rich garlic flavor, perfect for cooking. Boiling the garlic cloves for a few minutes ensures they are sanitized and ready for preservation. Peel several cloves of garlic and boil them for 5 minutes to soften and sanitize. Place the boiled cloves in a glass jar and fill the jar with olive oil, ensuring the garlic is fully submerged. Store the jar in the refrigerator. This method keeps the garlic fresh for up to three months, and the garlic-infused oil can be used to add extra flavor to your dishes.
