For 2 kg of cloves you will need 0.5 kg. Put them in a basin and fill them with cold water. We will change the water several times. Place the berries in a colander. Let's start preparing the marinade.
Pour 1 liter of water into the pan, add 1 tsp of citric acid. and 3 tbsp. l. salt. Don't forget about sugar - you need 1 tbsp for this volume of water. l. Bring the water to a boil. The ingredients will dissolve, the marinade is ready, you can marinate.
While the marinade was preparing, we managed to:
- Wash and sterilize jars.
- Sort through the berries.
- Layer cloves and currant branches.
Pour the marinade into beautifully arranged jars. Place the jars on a tray and cover with lids. After 3 days, juice will flow out of them - the result of fermentation. When the fermentation process is over, seal the pickled garlic hermetically. Store in the cold.

We clean the heads, separate them into separate cloves, and wash them. Separate the currants from the branches and also rinse them in several changes of water. Prepare the marinade for the cloves from sugar, water and salt. Bring it to a boil, then lower the cloves and boil for another 5 minutes, pour in the vinegar at the end.
Divide the peeled ginger into 2 parts. There will be enough raw materials for two small jars. Divide the berries into two parts and place them in jars. We send the ginger there too. Pour the hot marinade with cloves on top. We roll up the jars. Store in a cool place.
