I gave this a try for the first time for a table I did this week and I thought I would show you how to make it.
I had these herbs growing in my garden so I just went outside and snipped for the recipe as follows.
Italian Herb Infused Olive Oil
6 fresh basil leaves
2 sprigs of thyme
2 sprigs of rosemary
2 sprigs of oregano
1 1/2 cup of olive oil
Just rinse your herbs, pat dry, and mix into the olive oil. It will keep refrigerated 2-3 days. You can use this as a base to salad dressings, in recipes instead of seasonings, or drizzle it on bread. It is meant to be concentrated so a little goes a long way. Note: if I made it again I would use less rosemary. It is the strongest flavored herb and it seemed to over power the other flavors. This was the first time I had tried to make this so it was trial and error. Recipe source is http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/italian-herb-infused-olive-oil/Detail.aspx

Hey Sherry! Hubby and I love using herbed oil at the table! He even uses it when he's cooking. Our favorite way is to dip our French bread in it with a bit of parm cheese. Mmmmmmm! The oil makes a great Christmas gift, too! :)

Sherry,
You made something that has me so interested! I love herb infused oils. Thank you for the great instructions and the beautiful images. I have so many herbs to use before they are nipped by cold weather... this would be perfect. My family loves a good crusty piece of bread and some great oil.
Thanks so much!
