    Worked great. Used it over the space of a week and put it in the fridge. Didn't go off at all.

    Contrary to the instructions you shouldn't keep this in the fridge more than a day or two; either use it, or freeze it. Garlic tends to have botulism spores in it, and the butter will create an anerobic condition that will promote production of the botulinum toxin. Other recipes call for lemon juice…

    question

    Hi, I don’t have any garlic cloves except for garlic in a pot. Would this be ok to use? And if so how much do I need to add. Thanks
