Why You’ll Love Garlic Honey Fermented Paste

• Probiotic-Rich: Naturally fermented to support digestive health.

• Flavorful: Adds savory-sweet depth to marinades, dressings, sandwiches, and roasted veggies.

• Long Shelf Life: When properly stored, this paste can last for months!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup peeled fresh garlic cloves

• ¾ to 1 cup raw honey (unpasteurized preferred)

• ½ tsp sea salt (optional, for boosting fermentation)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Garlic:
   Peel fresh garlic cloves and lightly crush them with the flat side of a knife to release juices.

2. Mix with Honey:
   In a sterilized glass jar, combine garlic and raw honey. Stir well so garlic is fully coated.

3. Ferment:
   Loosely cover the jar with a lid (not airtight) and store it at room temperature out of direct sunlight.
   Stir or flip the jar gently once a day to keep garlic coated.

4. Monitor:
   After 3–5 days, you’ll notice small bubbles a sign fermentation is happening! Continue fermenting for 2–4 weeks, tasting along the way.

5. Store:
   Once the flavor is to your liking, tighten the lid and move the jar to a cool, dark place (or the refrigerator) to slow further fermentation.

How to Use Garlic Honey Fermented Paste

• Stir into salad dressings for a sweet-savory kick

• Spread over grilled meats or roasted vegetables

• Add a spoonful to soups or stews before serving

• Enjoy a small amount straight as an immune booster

Important Notes:
Always use clean utensils when handling the paste to prevent contamination. Bubbling and color deepening over time are normal signs of healthy fermentation.
