Here's something to do with that garlic you just harvested.

This can be served over a block of cream cheese with crackers, excellent in meat marinades or brushed on a roast or used as a condiment.
large heads garlic
Olive oil
4 large onions (i.e. Walla Walla Sweet or Vidalia)
2/3 cup sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons butter (may substitute olive oil)
1 cup white vinegar
4 cups water
6 cups sugar
1 package powdered pectin
Cut top off each garlic head and drizzle with olive oil.
Roast at 275 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Cool completely.
Caramelize onions: chop onions into small pieces (save half of 1 onion and cut into large slivers; set aside to be used later as a garnish).
Place 2/3 cup sugar in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until melted; mix in butter until melted.
Add onions and cook until coated by caramelizing mixture (onions should be soft and pierce easily with a fork).
Caramelize large slivers and set aside.
Add garlic cloves from one head and simmer 5 minutes.
Add vinegar and mix while still over medium heat;
mix in 4 cups water and simmer 5 more minutes.
Sieve mixture through a jellybag or cheesecloth, allowing to drip until all liquid is through.
Measure 5 cups of the garlic/onion liquid into a saucepan and add pectin.
Bring to a full boil and add all the sugar at once.
Cook at full rolling boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
Remove from heat and ladle mixture into hot, sterilized jars.
Garnish top of each jar with a large sliver of caramelized onion and a clove of roasted garlic.
Put lids on and process 10 minutes in boiling water bath.
Store in a cool, dark place.
