Garlic can be subtle and sweet, or it can be a big bully with acrid undertones. Its behavior depends on how it's cooked and in what company. Here, it cozies up with lemon juice, cayenne and parsley, blending fast into a zippy, soft topping for bruschetta, pizza or your favorite grilled meat.

Can you can the garlic jam? I am thinking that it might make a nice little gift in a basket.

Uncooked garlic cannot be canned and stored unrefrigerated due to the risk of botulism. With the parsley, this would be good for 1-2 weeks in the fridge.

I don't know about canning per se but, I made something very similar several years ago (I added roasted onions to mine), I stored mine it in small mason jars in the fridge and gave it to friends for the holidays as part of a gift basket, along with some homemade crackers and they loved it! While 40+ heads of garlic were roasting, a few neighbors rang my doorbell because the aroma wafted into the hallway and they wanted to know what the heck I was making!
