Hi, Judie.
i use my fingers to remove only the outer skin which feels a bit like
paper. I find it helpful to peel from the bottom of the clove (where it was
attached to the base) and work my way up. If the base is completely
removed, you will see a small indentation on the bottom of the clove where
you can start peeling. It helps to use a fingernail to start peeling. If I
am having some trouble removing some skin, I hold the clove of garlic with
my thumbs and forefingers and either do a slight twisting motion (my hands
twisting in opposite directions) or apply a small amount of pressure as if I
were trying to break it in half.
I hope that this was helpful and not confusing. Smile! Have a good
weekend.

I'd appreciate some help with preparing garlic for use. How much do you
peel off before chopping? Any other tips for preparation would be
appreciated.
Blessings,
Judie
