- water
- 12 12 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 4 4 c cane vinegar
- 2 2 c white granulated sugar
- 2 2 tsp salt

- Put the vegetables into a strainer and run it over cold water to rinse. Then put the vegetables on a cheesecloth.
- Squeeze and wring the vegetables in the cheesecloth to remove all the excess water.
- Carefully fill four sanitized 12 oz glass jars with the vegetables equally.

- Lower the heat and cook for an additional minute until the sugar is dissolved.
- Carefully pour the liquid into the glass jars until the liquid covers the vegetables. Use a chopstick to mix the liquid in the jar. Seal the lid and allow the jar to come to room temperature before placing in the fridge.
- Refrigerate for at least two days before eating.
