1. When is peaches season in NZ? I want to buy some and bottle them but don't know when they should be cheapest.
2. In the supermarket was a jar of garlic cloves in a liquid for use. What would they be in and how would you make the same? How long would they last?
Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated. I have got into the bottling/preserving mood ha ha

Here's a garlic recipe from the lovely juliewn:
Pickled Garlic: This is great for gifts. . Peel 250gms garlic and cut any large cloves in half. In a saucepan, bring to the boil 1 cup white vinegar, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp mustard seeds and 1/4 tsp celery seeds. Boil 5 minutes. Add garlic and boil a further five minutes. Place garlic into small jars. Bring the syrup back to the boil and pour over to cover the garlic. Cover with a non-metallic lid. Leave for 6 weeks before using. Pickled Garlic can be used in the same way as you would pickled onions or gherkins. . in sandwiches, antipasto platters, with cold meats, cheeses etc. . sliced and added to rice or pasta salads, or other kinds of salads. . etc. . etc. . It doesn't give garlic-breath as it's pickled. . I prefer it chilled when using. . juliewn

all my peaches got eaten by some delightful furry creatures in the middle of the night! ! (Drated possums) so now I don't have any left to preserve!
