How to Make Flavoured Aromatic Herb And Fruit Oil
- Harvest your herbs. Gently wash and thoroughly dry if necessary.
- Prepare herb bundles: For each 1-pint jar, create a small bundle of herbs (approx. 1/4 cup total). Suggestions include thyme, bay leaf, tarragon, and rosemary.
- Prepare the fruit and spices: Zest 1/2 an orange and/or 1/2 a lemon. Add 1-2 small dried chilies (or to taste) and 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns.
- Layer the ingredients: In two clean, dry 1-pint jars or bottles, add the herb bundles, orange/lemon zest, chilies, and peppercorns.
- Fill with olive oil: Fill each jar completely with high-quality extra virgin olive oil, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
- Seal and store: Seal jars tightly with corks or lids. Store in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks, shaking daily.
- Infuse further (optional): For a more intense flavor, leave to infuse for up to 4 weeks, shaking daily.
- Strain and bottle (optional): After infusing, strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into clean bottles for a clearer, less-herbaceous result.
- Gift and enjoy: Use within 6 months. Decorate the bottles with raffia, ribbons, and fresh or dried herbs for a beautiful and thoughtful gift.
