Notes
Storing leftover confit: Leftover garlic confit MUST be stored in the fridge, and will last 2-3 weeks tightly covered in a clean jar in the fridge.
If you won't consume it during that time, you can freeze it in a freezer safe container for several months.
Adding herbs: For extra flavor, feel free to add fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme or oregano sprigs to the oil to infuse the garlic with flavor. You can also add chili peppers for some heat!
