I peel mine, all of it and then chop it finely. Cram into small jam jars and pour over white wine vinegar. That's all that is Lazy Garlic as sold in the supermarket. I've done this for the last seven or eight years now and have never had any problems. It's just a bit of faff sitting there peeling them and your hands reek of garlic afterwards. Thinking about it, I can't go down the road to the Garlic Farm to get any. I,m not paying their delivery charge for it to come half a mile up the road!
