• Health Update: Homemade Flavored Oil Alert.
• If you like to make your own herb/garlic flavored oil mixtures, be aware of possible dangers if you do not use the latest safety recommendations. Commercially prepared concoctions contain additives like phosphoric acid or citric acid that prevent bacteria from growing. If you make flavored oils at home, keep them refrigerated and toss after 3 days.
• Herbs and oils are both low-acid (pH
• Avoid making flavored oil that is potentially dangerous. Ideal conditions for the unwanted growth of Celsius botulinum include low acid environment (usually pH>4.6), anaerobic (oil provides an anaerobic environment), with enough available water and room temperatures.
• These bacteria are found very commonly in soil, water and air. Surrounding these low-acid foods with oil creates an oxygen-free environment (anaerobic) that is perfect for the growth of the bacteria and formation of its toxin (poison). The safe and recommended method for making flavored oil follows:.
• Herb Flavored Oil - Cold Infusion Method.
• Choose very fresh herbs and a high quality oil with a neutral or mild taste. A typical recipe calls for one cup fresh herbs. Use your favorite herb or herb combination. Use a mild herb with a strong flavor for best results (rosemary and thyme) or use a single herb.
• 1-2 cups green herbs.
• 1 cup oil (olive oil, walnut oil, etc.).
• In a large 5 quart Dutch oven or blanching pot, bring 2 quarts water to a rolling boil.
• Add herbs and push under boiling water with a long handled spoon.
• Return water to a boil and blanch herbs, covered, for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare an ice water bath. After 5 minutes, remove herbs from boiling water using a strainer or slotted spoon. Drain slightly.
• Immediately plunge herbs into ice water for 5 minutes. Drain well and squeeze out all excess water.
• Place herbs in a blender and add oil. Puree until smooth.
• Strain immediately through a fine-mesh strainer. Strain again through several layers of cheesecloth.
• Pour strained oil into a pre-sterilized glass bottle. Cover tightly and refrigerate; use within 3 days.

Steps:

• Pour the rice vinegar through a funnel into a 20-ounce bottle. Gently add the rosemary, orange zest and garlic cloves to the bottle until completely submerged. Add a tight-fitting spout with a rubber stopper. You can use the vinegar right away or refrigerate it for up to 1 month to allow the flavors to marry and infuse the vinegar. The longer the vinegar sits, the more the flavors will infuse.

Steps:

• Stir the popcorn kernels and 1/2 cup of the oil in a heavy large pot. Cover and cook over medium heat until the kernels have popped, shaking the pot halfway through cooking, about 3 minutes. Immediately transfer the popcorn to a large serving bowl. Toss the popcorn with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with salt, to taste, and serve.
• Combine the oil and rosemary in a heavy small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Transfer the sprigs to a 4-ounce bottle or cruet. Add the oil and seal the lid. Refrigerate for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Put the oil and rosemary in a med saucepan and let simmer over a low heat until the rosemary gets crispy.
• Drain oil and pour through a coffee filter.
• Let it cool completely before you bottle it.
• I keep mine on the counter next to the stove because I use it all the time. If you don't think you'll use it that much, I suggest that you refrigerate it, or it will go rancid in about a month.
• BE ADVISED! SOME LOCAL HEATH DEPARTMENTS CLAIM THAT THERE IS A RISK WHEN MAKING HOMEMADE FLAVORED OILS.
• To help avoid any risk of illness I suggest that you treat this entire procedure like you are doing home canning. SANITIZE EVERYTHING THAT WILL COME INCONTACT WITH FOOD!
• I can't stress this enough. Botulism is nothing to mess around with. I have never had a problem with my flavored oils. Always smell them before you use them. If there is any doubt about the quality, TOSS IT! You can't be too careful.
• Be careful and enjoy.

Steps:

• Place the oil and the rosemary (or basil) in the insert of the slow cooker.
