I'm Gonna Be Sick of Garlic

The production line. My hands hurt, my eyes sting and I stink.
Lovin' it.

I recieved 4 cartons of garlic from a bloke a couple of blocks away and not wanting them to go to waste and being interested in preserving, I set about peeling, chopping, boiling and bottling.

The fist batch I made went a lovely green blue colour! My first thought was that it was contaminated with some kind of chemical. However after some quick research on the net, I found it was just a reaction with copper from from the water with sulphur compounds in the garlic, to fix it keep boiling until the colour returns to normal. Needless to say I used filtered water on my second batch with no colour problems. I have only made 12 jars of crushed garlic and I'm not even through my first carton.

I'm gonna be sick of garlic when I'm done.
