I have a similar recipe that I got out of Stocking Up III by Carol Hupping.  
It
is called Penag Pickled Garlic.  I put some up from last year and enjoyed it 
so
much in stir frys or any other Asian type of recipe.  It is especially good
minced and sautéed w/ carrots, ginger and some soy sauce and a touch of honey.

Penag Pickled Garlic

4 oz. fresh garlic (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 cups rice vinegar
2 Tblsp. Rodale's Whole Pickling Spice (see below)

Peel garlic and blanch for 30 secs.  Drain.  Combine vinegar and pickling 
spice
and bring to a boil.  Pack garlic in  2 hot half pint jars. Pour hot liquid 
over
garlic leaving 1/2 head space.  Seal and process for 10 minutes in boiling 
water
bath.

Rodale's Whole Pickling Spice

2 T. bay leaves-crushed
1 T. cardamom seeds
1 T. dried ginger root
