Rosemary Infused Olive Oil
Rosemary is a very fragrant herb than can be used in a variety of dishes; everything from grilled chicken to cakes. Fresh sprigs from your garden can be used directly on fish or poultry or dried for later use. Another great way to preserve the flavor of this herb is by infusing it in olive oil. This process of creating Rosemary Olive Oil is very simple to do and will extend the life of your rosemary far beyond the summer growing season.
Rosemary Infused Olive Oil:
Items Needed:
Fresh rosemary (About 4 4-inch sprigs per 16 oz. oil)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
