How to Make Truffle Oil With Peppercorns And Thyme

  1. Gently clean 1 tablespoon fresh thyme sprigs with a damp cloth. (Avoid submerging to prevent excess moisture.)
  2. Ensure the thyme is completely dry.
  3. In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, and 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh truffles.
  4. Securely attach a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan.
  5. Heat the oil over medium-low heat, maintaining a consistent temperature of 200°F (93°C).
  6. Cook gently at 200-225°F (93-107°C) for 10 minutes, ensuring the oil doesn't exceed 225°F.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature.
  8. Carefully pour the infused oil into a sterilized bottle or jar. Seal tightly.
  9. Store in a cool, dark place at room temperature for up to 2 months.
