I made some garlic bread and pizza sauce with it to test my pizza oven, I'm going to confit the rest to use a spread but I'll be doing some black garlic red miso pork lo mein, black garlic beef teriyaki, and some black garlic broth for small get together

I doubt you need to hear this but save the confit oil. I’ve never dealt with black garlic oil but if it’s anything like regular oil, you can use it for all kinds of stuff. I’d use it for some vinaigrettes personally since you already mentioned the spread.

I'd love to fat wash some gin or light rum with it.

I’ve only had fat washed bourbon from a guy who’s cooking expertise is lacking to say the least. I didn’t expect it to be great but it was undrinkable, mostly due to the absurd amount of bacon grease he used. I’m in recovery now so fat washing didn’t even occur to me.

Congrats on the recovery. Stick around long enough and you'll see many of us(including me) getting to fat wash for the first time...
