Garlic Flavored Oil

Ingredients:

• 1 Head garlic -- raw
• 1/2 C distilled white vinegar

Preparation:

• 1 C olive oil
• Peel garlic and separate into cloves. Soak cloves in vinegar 15 minutes,
• drain and rinse under cold, running water. Drain, dry well, then put in
• blender with oil and pulse until chopped. Do not blend to a puree or the oil
• and garlic will be too difficult to separate!
• Strain puree immediately through a fine mesh strainer. Strain again through
• 4 layers of cheese cloth and put in sterilized glass bottle. Cover tightly
• and refrigerate. It is at its optimum flavor if used within a week or 10
• days.
• If giving for a gift, make it about a week before presenting it. It will
• still be good long after this but will lose some of the flavor as it
