I had the same thought today. The idea in the recipe is slow roasted
garlic that is like butter in the end (which fresh garlic is prone to

It makes me think of those little clay pots some wet down and stuff
garlic in then slow bake? You squeeze them out on garlic bread or
something and supposed to be divine. I've not tried it.
