I just made my first (successful) batch and it’s ok, but it doesn’t really taste like store bought at all. And the goal is to get a similar end result since that can be used get other people into making their own instead of buying it since it’s marked up so much.

    When you say “minced” are you saying bought it from the store in a jar pre-cut?

    I mean, personally I don’t mind chopping up fresh raw garlic and putting it in; in fact I like it. But it’s very pungent and you’ll really reek.

    Best results are from roasting at least a half dozen cloves for three cans of beans. Roasting garlic makes it like a warm, mellow, buttery spread. Absolutely delicious, and can be used for plenty of other things (like making pesto).
