Do you have an abundance of Garlic? This year I have had several people giving away garlic because they planted too much last season. I am always happy to add the garlic to our pantry, we do use a good amount in our food preparation. We use so much garlic I don’t think we have to worry about vampires!
To help preserve the garlic for later use, I decided to use it to make fresh powder. It was so easy I want to share it with everyone. It only takes five easy steps to have fresh homemade garlic powder!!
Step one: Cut off dry stalks and root end. Remove any dirt from bulb, and leave outer skins on (as long as they are clean).
Step two: Place full bulbs into Vitamix blender and blend until a mash texture (no chunks can be detected).
Step three: Spread garlic mash onto teflex sheets and dehydrate on 115 degrees for approx 24 hours (times may vary) or until dry.
Step four: Place dry garlic sheets back into Vitamix and blend into powder
Step five: Place into jars and use in all your recipes!
The color may vary, but it will always taste wonderful. It will be the best garlic powder you will ever use!
P.S. Add some salt and you have garlic salt 
Do you know the benefits of garlic (besides avoiding vampires?) Read about it here: Wiki Allicin
I am going to plant extra garlic this year so next year I will have more for processing into powder. I shared mine with friends, and now I’m out! Got Garlic?
