Basil & Garlic Infused Olive Oil

Not that I can attest to the accuracy of the comments, but my family swears by the flavor of homemade hash browns made with this!  It's simple to do and the entire house smells great for several hours.

Start with however much olive oil you wish to infuse and add your garlic.  We grew our own garlic (and basil) this year so I added random varieties of the cloves that had broken skins and wouldn't age properly in storage.  I really, REALLY like garlic so I add quite a bit.  And, if it's too strong at the end for your taste, you can simply cut it with more plain olive oil to get it to your own flavor preference.

I added the fresh basil after the garlic had been bathing for about 1 hour.

Keep this on your stove tops lowest heat and just let it go, stirring about every 1/2 hour or so.  When the garlic floats to the top, it's done!  Let it cool and put it in whatever container you wish.  I made enough for a year or so.

Knee High by the 4th of July - 2024

I think this corn will be ok!  This was taken on the 4th and I just forgot to share it until now.
