Pan-Roasted Garlic

In 3-quart saucepan over high heat, heat unpeeled garlic cloves and 6 cups water to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until garlic cloves are fork-tender; drain. Cool garlic with running cold water; drain again. Peel garlic cloves. In 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, combine garlic, sugar, vegetable oil, and salt. Cook, stirring and shaking skillet frequently, until garlic cloves are glazed and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve as a condiment to sprinkle over salads or cooked vegetables, alongside roasted meats and poultry, or to spread like butter on bread.
