Rick, I DID use a quart jar, and I cut the root end off... but this part: "I have to shake REALLY hard and fast. And keep it up for 10-30 seconds" may have been where I went wrong. LOL, might be easier to just tediously peel the cloves
How much garlic did you actually put in the jar at one time? Like, just covering the bottom, 1/4 full, ??
At any rate, it's dry now and the chips are filling a quart jar; tomorrow I'll grind some of it down to powder
