Ingredients

1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon fresh dill
1 cup garlic cloves (about 3-4 heads of garlic, peeled)
½ cup white vinegar
½ cup water
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon sugar

Instructions

Wash an 8 oz glass jar using warm water and soap. Dry thoroughly.
Sprinkle some of the oregano and fresh dill into the bottom of the jar. Then pack the garlic cloves into the sterilized jar, alternating between layers of garlic and layers of herbs (I usually end up with about 3 layers of each). Leave about ½ inch of space at the top of the jar. Set aside.
Add the white vinegar, water, salt, and sugar into a small pot on the stove. Stir the liquid together, and then place the pot over medium-high heat.
Allow the water to warm up, stirring occasionally. When the water is hot, the salt and sugar is dissolved, and the liquid is just barely beginning to form bubbles, remove the liquid from the heat (do not allow it to boil).
Fill the jar with the hot liquid, maintaining your ½ inch of headspace at the top. Add the lid tightly onto the jar.
Place the jar in the fridge for 2-3 weeks before enjoying!
