| I don't know if anyone else is familiar with the garlic variety known as Music, but that is the variety I grow and will use for canning salsa. The cloves are large. You get about 4 cloves per bulb of this garlic variety. I'm wondering if anyone else has figured out the size substitution for the recipe. I'm planning to use 3 cloves of Music garlic rather than the six called for in the recipe. Does that sound right? If someone has figured out the average weight for garlic in the recipe please let me know so I can adjust accordingly. |

| Average head of garlic = 10 cloves Average clove of chopped garlic = 1 tsp. Average clove minced = 1/2 tsp. The salsa calls for 6 cloves minced (equals 3 tsp) so mince one of your cloves and see how much you get in tsp. and use accordingly. Dave . |

| I grow Music and German Extra Hardy. Usually I use 3 or 4, depending on the size. I just minced a large clove last night and needed to measure it for a soup recipe. Spot on - 1 teaspoon :-) |

| not to hijack the thread, but I've been wondering the sizes of everything in the recipe and how safe a product I am making. tomato, onions, peppers, garlic, cilantro. how chopped is chopped? over the years I've found considerable differences in the fineness of the chop, on a yield of 6 pints to 10 pints per batch depending on how fine the chop is. There is more product per measured volume, the finer the chop with more yield, but adding the same amount of acidity. |

| not to hijack the thread .. *********************** I wouldn't think so. Related information is always good. We are all here to learn. Again, the old measurement methods have a lot of shortcomings, IMO. Volume(of chopped veggies, etc) can have a lot of varied amount of air in it. The proper way should be weight measure. Every kitchen should have a good scale, with a minimum accuracy of one tenth of an OZ. BACK TO OP: I personally do not think using even twice as much garlic would make any difference, as long as it suits your taste and preference. |
