I just hang them up in a plait like onions, somewhere cool and dry -- they last for ages 

I have seen previous posts warning of the dangers of storing in oil but I have done this for years and haven't killed anyone yet.  I sterilise the jars, peel the gloves and store in the fridge (up to a year has been fine when I have had so much I couldn't eat it).  I have also stored in white wine vinegar which gives a drier garlic
