colored garlic?

Hi :-) I pressed some fresh garlic tonight, put it in an enameled pan with some
org. butter and org. lemon juice and gently warmed it. When I poured it
over the broiled salmon I noticed that the garlic had turned bluish green!
So weird! It tasted fine though :-) The garlic was normal looking when it
went into the pan.
Anybody have ANY idea what happened? I have done this same thing plenty of
times and never had the garlic change colors. We did eat it - hope that is
o.k.!
Thanks,
Lynda

    Lynda,
    I have had this happen to me when I pressure canned chicken soup. I it’s so
    long ago I forgot what the reason was , but I just wanted to tell you it’s ok to
    eat. Mine is greenish blue in the jars-my Aunt told me it always happens when
    home canning. Maybe it was a chemical reaction to the enamel & another
    ingredient.
