If the raw honey you find is solid at room temperature, warm it in the microwave or in a saucepan over low heat to bring it back to a liquid state before using for this recipe. You can drizzle this honey over pepperoni pizza (trust!), serve alongside spicy fried chicken, use in a glaze for grilled pork or fish, and/or add a few spoonfuls to savory cornbread.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 2 cups

Ingredients

12 garlic cloves (about 1 head), crushed
1 1/2 cups raw honey

Special Equipment

A heatproof 1-qt. jar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place garlic in jar. Pour honey over garlic and stir to combine, making sure all the garlic gets coated. Seal jar and let sit at room temperature 3 days. Unscrew and remove lid to let out any gases; give garlic honey a stir. (You’ll most likely see tiny bubbles at this stage, which means the fermentation process has started). Reseal jar and let sit, stirring once every other day, at least 1 week before using.

  2. Do Ahead

    Step 2

    Garlic honey can be made 1 month ahead. Keep room temperature.
