Braiding Garlic

Okay, so I harvested my garlic about a month ago. Curing only takes about 2-3 weeks, so my garlic is sure to be well cured by now. Now it’s time for braiding! One quick note before we begin. I learned a lesson about curing garlic this year. In past years, I have always hung my garlic on string to cure. This year, since I harvested so many heads of garlic, I cured my garlic on old screen door on a couple of sawhorses. Here’s why hanging them works better.

I started with 13 heads, but I suppose you could do more (I’m thinking your braid would just be thicker due to more stems).

I begin by cutting off the roots. I do this regardless of if I am braiding it or not.

I am not too particular about getting all the dirt off, as I would rather preserve the skin (and therefore allow the garlic to keep longer) than get all the dirt off. Especially since the skin comes off when you peel the garlic later anyway.

Wet down two towels and sandwich the stems of the garlic between the two wet towels for 15-30 minutes to soften up the necks, so they are pliable for braiding.

Bring stem 2 over, so that is crosses over stem 4, and then becomes the new middle along with stem 3.

Set the 5th head to the right of the middle and position it’s stem next to stem 2.

I hang it on a hook on my baker’s rack and then just clip heads off it as needed.

I wonder how long this will last this year?
