The easiest way I can think of and have been using for a long time is slice the cloves in ½ then drop into jar filled w/oil [peppers could be added here too] - store in frigde between uses - add more oil and/or garlic as you need to Or, put the oil & garlic [peppers could be added here too] cloves in a pan - heat them up a bit but not hard cooking - set aside to cool & enjoy Or do the above in a micro-safe dish - zap about 30-45 seconds - let cool & enjoy Sharen Rund Bloechl Lockheed Martin Enterprise Information Systems Sunnyvale Data Center sharen.rund.bloechl@lmco.com <mailto:sharen.rund.bloechl@lmco.com> Phone: 408-756-5432 [or] Fax: 408-756-0912 srund@svl.ems.lmco.com <mailto:srund@svl.ems.lmco.com> LMnet: 8-326-5432 Pager: 408-539-5146 web: http://webpager.lmms.lmco.com/perl/mtrocall.cgi <http://webpager.lmms.lmco.com/perl/mtrocall.cgi> [or] Operator Assist: 1-800-725-5079, pin 408-539-5146 ---------- From: Tom Cuneo[SMTP:forsite@forsite.net] Sent: Friday, July 02, 1999 6:27 AM To: chd Subject: Re: [CH] RE:Safety of olive oil dip Is there a way to infuse garlic into the olive oil to give a strong garlic flavor without risking botulism, and also be able to store it safely for some time. Im not talking about storing peppers in it or even garlic, just getting a good strong garlic flavor infused into the oil itself?
