Is it possible to mince garlic and keep it in a jar in the fridge? Should I add any liquid for storage? How long will it stay fresh?

    Yes, you can mince your own garlic and store it in a jar in the fridge! It’s a convenient way to have garlic ready for your cooking. However, to prevent spoilage and ensure safety, it’s best to store the minced garlic in some sort of liquid, such as olive oil. This not only helps preserve the garlic but also adds flavor.

    If stored in oil, make sure to keep it in the refrigerator and use it within a week or two. Garlic stored this way can sometimes develop botulism if not handled properly, so always prioritize food safety. If you’re looking for longer storage, consider freezing minced garlic in portions. This way, it can last for several months while still being easy to use!
