Thai Style Pickled Garlic

Was down the Allotment and harvested the Solent White garlic that had been growing since last year. Got around 20 bulbs of Garlic in total, the smallest of which I have preserved as a pickle.

Took ages to peel all that garlic so I hope this comes out okay. The recipe is loosely based on the one in Carol Tennant's Book of Preserves. 

The chilli used was one of my homegrown Apache F1's that I grew last year and dried in the Food Dehydrator
