For a fun twist on Christmas gifts, I have been infusing
canola oil with various herbs. It’s a great way to add a unique favor to meals.
I made three different combinations; rosemary, rosemary and peppercorns and rosemary
with thyme. I simply placed the dried herbs in individual glass bottles, added herbs,
and poured in the canola oil adorned with twine and a glittery ornament for a
festive finishing touch. The oil is good for a month or two.
* Note: There was a concern made about the oil, a couple people asked questions.
• If you use Canola Oil the oil is perfectly safe.
• Use herbs that have been dried out.

This is a perfect hostess gift!!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! The combinations you chose sound perfect.
ReplyDeleteNot to be a Debbie Downer, but I looked into doing this before and found a bunch of information on how dangerous it can be due to the Botulism bacteria. This link talks about it a bit http://www.oliveoilsource.com/page/infusing-olive-oil Just wanted to give you a heads up!
ReplyDeletewow...good to know!
Deleteit's canola oil and not olive oil so its perfectly safe :]

Oh my, we are obsessed with infused oils (we are currently using olive). Except we are spending the extra money...we totally need to do this. Such a good idea!

This is such a neat idea! This would be such a pretty and unique gift!
ReplyDeleteGreat DIY-project, I think this kind of gift is always very appreciated! I've done it myself a few times, and luckily none of what is mentioned in the article that Rachel refers to, has ever happened:)
