Too bad they're peeled, they make great country decorations.
I love to put minced garlic in everything too. To me it's sweet and it makes me bounce off of the wall with energy, don't know why it does that.
I don't know any specific recipes but I do buy jars of minced garlic, so there's an idea for you. Rather than canning whole cloves you can mince it up first; way more convenient when you're adding it to anything/everything you're cooking.
