Our Do It Yourself department is meant to inspire and motive you to make items at home that you would normally buy at the store. We’ve been noticing pickled garlic springing up on menus all over the islands. We consider pickled garlic to be a condiment. You’ll love how the once pungent garlic flavor mellows out with pickling. Add it to sandwiches, as a soup topper, in a salad, or on a charcuterie platter.
