Method

  • 1.
    Place all ingredients in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once you start to see small bubbles form, immediately reduce heat to low and cook, without stirring, for 1 hour or until the garlic has softened. Remove pan from heat and cool to room temperature.
  • 2.
    Using a slotted spoon, divide garlic, sage and peppercorns between 4 x 2-cup (500ml) sterilised wide-mouthed shouldered glass jars with flip tops and rubber seals. Pour over oil to cover the garlic completely. Tap jars on a work surface and run a clean knife around the inside to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rim of the jars with paper towel and seal (see note for storage instructions).
