This is a great way to preserve large amounts of garlic (if you buy big bags at Costco)

Chopping the Garlic

Place desired amount of garlic in a mini prep chopper.  Chop garlic until desired texture is reached.

Wrapping It Up

Place a mound of garlic on a piece of saran wrap.  Leave enough room so that you can easily wrap the saran wrap around the garlic.

Roll Until It Is a Neat Package

When you find the need for garlic, take out of the freezer, unwrap, and cut the amount that you need.  It will defrost as you cook it.  Garlic at the ready!
