Has anyone tried to freeze roasted garlic cloves?  I bought a huge container of peeled cloves and don't want them to spoil before I can finish them off.  No need to reply unless you've done this, either successfully or a failure.

Hi Mr Geo:

Here is some advice from our Pillsbury Experts:

You can freeze whole, unpeeled heads and remove cloves as you need them. 

You can wrap chopped or crushed garlic tightly in plastic wrap and freeze, then grate or break off what you need. 

Or you can peel whole cloves of garlic and purée them in a blender or mini food processor, using 2 parts oil to 1 part garlic, and freeze. 

Finally, fresh peeled garlic cloves can be covered with oil and stored in the freezer.
