So glad to hear your wonderful voice again Deb. I have been missing you. This is a great idea. Bev

[@SugarandSpiceSoaps]

I love garlic and the smell of garlic Yum!! thank you for this tip since I use it a lot , tip for you if you put garlic in microwave for a few secs something like 5 the skin comes off really easy you just squeeze one end and garlic pops out

[@BrooklyngirlLovesCrochet]

I LOOOOVE garlic! We've become a little lazy nowadays and some are willing to pay so much money instead of taking a little time and effort. Great video Deb. Thank u!

[@perbain]

Its getting to the point,,, I eat what I grow or trade. I am growing garlic this year for next. Thats a for sure thing. Thank you for sharing.

[@perbain]

Take your terriyaki sauce, mango mashed up, and crushed pinapple in a pan, heat it up to a boil. In a cup add some cold water and cornstarch into a loose paste . Add it to the fruit mix and stir til thickened. This is Mrs. H's recipe and I stand by it.

[@perbain]

I am from Chicago's south side. Thank you for the compliment. :)

[@TimsNew77]

My best friend from high school is an LDS missionary now and he told me about your videos. Little did he know that it would start an addiction to prepping and prepping videos! He jokes that its his secret way of converting people to the church. Much love, will be back regularly!

[@329crys]

good point on why do we spend so much money on stuff we can do ourselves. I have learned so much from you and anxiously await for more and more videos..thank you for everything you do for all of us : ) You are a true blessing to so many

[@1994abbygirl]

I just dried 6 lbs of garlic.. it is oh so much better than store bought! Easy way to peel garlic is take 2 stainless steel bowls one a little smaller than the other.. I have even used 2 metal loaf pans.. put your unpeeled garlic inside one bowl, put the other bowl face down over the other holding onto lips of both shake vigorously.. peels garlic quick and fast. Love the video Deb.. I suggest you try dehydrating ginger and grind.. so much better than store bought! Blessings!

[@TimsNew77]

Whenever I feel stressed out, I come on youtube and see if you or Katzcradul made any videos. Both of you are very soothing to watch. I get into whatever you are making and my stress melts away. Best Wishes

[@perbain]

True. I got them in a set for like $3.00 and use them all the time. Thanks for writing

[@AussieAngeS]

I love garlic and this is a great idea. Thanks deb

[@ohpineapples]

Thanks!! I never knew that the minced garlic in those jars were just made of only garlic and olive oil. Wow... That really is a lot of money to pay, you're right. Great tip!! Thanks! A little over a year ago I went to the grocery store to stock up on a lot of canned Campbell's soups. That's the only reason I actually went to the store that day. Get this.....I loaded my cart 1st with a bunch of tomato and rice soups then went to grab other kinds of soup

[@Gogrannygo55]

Thanks for this. It’s best to save any amount of money. Everything is so expensive.

[@perbain]

Too bad we are not neighbors. I'd help you and we could sit, talk, and laugh. Thanks for watching

[@AtHomeWithJenn]

Thanks for the tip, Deb!

[@brendahere]

Thanks for reminding me. I take mine out on the deck to chop and I need to do that before the it snows.

[@LongIslanderGal1]

Looks fabulous!! Thank you!

[@shawhit3462]

Great way to save 4 bucks! Thanks, so easy. Love it.

[@Proudmom1966]

hello deb, so glad to see you have a few new video's we all have missed you hun !! .. and yes the world is crazy and food prices are going up every week I think.. time are getting hard and we need to save a dollar when and where we can ( well I do ) lisa from maine xo

[@emmysnowwhite3775]

i made two pounds today,i do it every 6 months,it saves time and money too..

[@DMMR63]

The best way to remove the skins is to put the cloves in the microwave for 20-30 seconds and the garlic just slides out. I saw this on Dr.Oz it works great

[@sallywasagoodolgal]

$2.00 for garlic, an 25 cents for oil. That's a huge savings. Thanks for the tip.

[@sybilj.chialiva1081]

I start by placing the garlic cloves in white vinegar to make it way more acidic. I keep this mixture in the fridge for three days, then drain the vinegar off, process, and cover with extra virgin olive oil. Keep it in the fridge. No worries about botulism.

[@Christine-777]

Ah, Deb, I've missed you! Hope you're healthy and doing well. Would love to see a new vlog from you after all these years. 💕

[@perbain]

Hi Jenn! Thanks

[@perbain]

Thank you. I will remember that.

[@movinon04]

DEB-- tip-- i do my own garlic also- let me share easy peasy way to peel your garlic-- sepperate cloves-- put in a mason jar-- no lid-- pop in the microwave-- heat 30- 60 seconds-- pop on the jar lid-- shake the tar out of it-- pour it out and all your garlic is peeled all you need to do is sepperate the garlic and the skins-- hope this helps-- i got this from chef emeril-- BAMM--- huggs

[@perbain]

I understand. Thank you

[@jksatte]

This is a great idea to save money. I don't know why I never thought to make my own. I don't by the stuff in the store because of the expense either. I hope you continue to make video's. I miss them. God Bless Janice

[@SMac0628]

I saw that recently on a video somewhere. And it really works!

[@perbain]

Moine never lasts long Lynda. Long term is best to go dehydrated or freeze dried. I really like Freeze dried.

[@TheDenisedrake]

That looks like a terrific thing to do while watching Perbain videos!

[@shesinherapron]

Thanks for showing this! I love how you said "Ma" we call my mom ma. Love it! I can't tell if your from New England or Chicago.I think You're great! I love the smell of garlic. I love the taste. Now I want something to eat with garlic. LOL

[@SMac0628]

Our local Sam's Club has the Spice World Minced Garlic 48 oz cannister for $4-something. I purchased it by accident thinking it was dried since it was on the shelf with the other spices - surprise! Now I can't use it in my Meals-In-A-Jar, but use it for cooking when I'm in a hurry or out of fresh garlic. Not quite as pungent as I usually like my garlic, but it'll do in a pinch.

[@perbain]

Thank you

[@perbain]

Oh Yeah!!! Yummy Yummy

[@perbain]

Amen to that dear friend.

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

The garlic sold in the store in jars and oil have been pasteurized and canned to make them safe from botulism. To remove the smell of garlic from your fingers or hands simply sub them on something made of stainless steel.

[@JoannaMuse]

Love this vid Deb. I would just add make sure to buy garlic grown in America. China, which produces 75 percent of the world's supply is not safe to eat.

[@perbain]

Thanks Bev! :)

[@Betty1Q]

I am with you all the way.. Love Garlic and Love the smell of garlic!! My Husband did not like it but I used to put my hands under his nose. He loved garlic but not on my hands. LOL I am with you all the way just a little bit of labor and good smelling and saving a bit of money it all adds up. Can I put it in a jar? Thank You

[@1946pepper]

Martha Stewart has a great way and a YT video on how to clean and prepare garlic.. put several garlic balls in a metal bowl medium size, then place a same sized bowl also metal over the bottom bowl, then shake like crazy and take off the top bowl and all the papers are off the garlic.

[@perbain]

Mone never lasts long enough to worry. Long term I use freeze dried.

[@grandmananners]

we can get those jars once and a while at the dollar store for $1 and I stock up then but other than that this is the way to go...thanks friend!

[@themightyparthos]

That is my complaint about jarred garlic, it does not seem to be nearly as aromatic, but I do keep it on hand when I'm feeling lazy though.

[@clmierau]

I did not know that you could smooch down on the garlic and it would separate ! Oh brother, how many times I fought trying to get a bulb off the bunch ! Thanks.

[@takingcareofmine]

WOW that is expensive, I got a large jar at wally world for under $6. Here the garlic blubs are more expensive but I too love the smell. Thanks for hints-great way to cut the garlic. I too am saying no to lots of things-like acorn squash at the grocery store the other night-big sign says .98 I thought yeah! not- .98 a lb and they were 4 pounds a piece. I will wait until they are on sale for real. thanks!

[@perbain]

wow! Bamm Bamm Bamm I love it! :)

[@SueAz09]

WowI've never seen a 4 oz jar garlic for that much. I get them for just over a buck. Costco has the large jar just over $3 I noticed the other day.

[@michwoodside]

Hi Deb - I made three pints of diced garlic this way but saw over on Linda's Pantry that some for her research showed it needs to be stored in the freezer to avoid botulism. My garlic in olive oil did freeze hard and so this is not as convenient. Have you heard of anything about dangers of refrigerator storage. Thanks. I love your videos.

[@ArthurKanzler]

You really need to be careful with homemade oil mixtures because of the increased risk of botulism toxic formation. The textbook example for botulism formation is homemade garlic and oil mixtures

[@ohpineapples]

I stocked my cart full of lots of different soups and went to pay. The cashier had to ask the manager if it was correct. He said yes! He said do you want the or not because I couldn't believe the price. He said again want them (sorta rood like). I said NO!!!! I left the store with nothing. I will never forget that!! No I get my soups at the dollar store.

[@perbain]

Bottom line, is,,, if its between me or Lasagna, I loose. hahahahaha

[@maryburt3114]

If you do it in a store plastic bag, makes easy clean up.

[@johnitaroberts-huff1458]

Thanks for the info, I also love garlic, can I store it in a mason jar? And should I put it in the frig or leave it out??

[@1andonlylynda]

got the computer fixed so I can hear you. I am making crab apple sauce with Don so had to watch this 3 times to see it all. How long will this last in a mason jar in the fridge. Someone told me not to do it as it wouldn't last long but I bought a jar and it lasted me a year so I figure this would last quite a while. Trust your advice more than the friend who keeps telling me things I do will kill someone. I made pickled garlic for my 7 year old GD need to taste it before I give it to her. TY

[@SMac0628]

I use about double the amount I would typically use, and the garlic taste does come through. Still nothing like fresh though.

[@takingcareofmine]

How did you plant your garlic Deb? I've heard just buy bulb and open in and plant is that what you did? I would like to try some.

[@jeanettegrisham2361]

You have a food processor now you could use that with your garlic.

[@elfglitter88]

Can I put a sprig of parsley in with the olive oil and garlic ?

[@ohpineapples]

Sorry lol I forgot to mention the price of the soup lol. Ya one can of tomato and rice soup was $4.69 a can !! Omg I thought $4.69 each can ?? Wow!! I stood there and thought when did this happen? I know soup went up but not that high!! LOL !! I thought gosh that's higher than a cats back!!! Lol

[@perbain]

I should shop by you, and sell it here for $2-3.00 and make a killing. :) Lucky gal!

[@1952Jeep]

I Friend, need to know how to make a "Teriyaki Mango Pineapple" glaze. I use the brand I've been buying on my beef jerky, and they are discontinuing it! Help!! Take care Deb!

[@perbain]

The store type has no flavor. Thanks for the tip

[@perbain]

Mine never lasts two weeks.

[@rhondawilkerson2431]

Can this sit out or does it have to be refrigerated?

[@larbichouguer9710]

to be refrigerated to avoid botulism (

[@perbain]

I hate washing the thing. hahahaha

[@astrowiz3544]

Thank you, I no longer have to hire a personal garlic chopper! This will save me hundreds per year which I can spend to buy me a personal lemonade squeezer! Thank you Truly, Soccermom98
