"First posted to the web by Shadows on January 11, 2007 You'll find this recipe beyond description. If you are a garlic lover you will be in heaven, if you are not, you still will be amazed. I have traced this recipe as far back as the 1400's The garlic improves with age for as long as 15 years. I am still eating from a jar of this we made 6 years ago. This is not something you eat right away, it marinades for 30 days at minimum. SOURCE Shadows"
