Marinated garlic scapes

Crunchy, tangy and slightly sweet, an ageless classic.

Ingredients

• 400 g garlic scapes, ends trimmed
• 625 ml (2 ½ cups) apple cider vinegar
• 250 ml (1 cup) sugar
• 125 ml (½ cup) water
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp peppercorn blend, crushed

Preparation

1. Coil the garlic scapes to fit them into two 500 ml glass jars. Leave about 2 cm (1 in) of headspace at the top of the jars.
2. In a saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, water, salt, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
3. Pour the boiling liquid into the jars, ensuring the garlic scapes are completely covered, and let rest for 5 minutes before sealing the jars with lids.
4. Let cool completely on the counter, then place in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks before using the garlic scapes.
5. Keeps for up to 1 month in the fridge.

Tournevent Tip: Delicious in salads, sandwiches, burgers, on cheese platters, or as a side for grilled dishes.
