DIY: Infused Oil
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.

Not 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!

Great 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:)
