Hey Jill this is a great! Really like infusing olive oil and use the same method. I will make the calendula salve. We refrigerate all of our oils just to make sure it's safe. God Bless, Mike
I broke down and changed the timer for the little LED Christmas lights I use in my chicken coops. They aren't bright enough to bother the hens, but they let me see enough in the dark to do what I need to do in there. I'll have to do it again when we change times, but it's got to where it's dark longer and I need those lights. I never made infused herbal oils for cooking, usually just "fry" the herbs in the oil while I'm cooking since I always seem to have either fresh or dried on hand. Kinda funny that I never tried making any, considering this sort of stuff is something I love making myself! I've only made infused oils and fats for salves and topicals, where you always add in things that would act to sanitize and stabilize the end product. I never really thought about the danger of botulism in oils. Thank goodness you posted this. To dry the herbs after the citric acid soak, could you use the dehydrator (lower temps like 100-115 degrees) to get them really dry or even dehydrated? Would dehydrated herbs work and still be safe? I'm going to check out that nifty little machine for myself! It looks like it might be something I'd use. It's really great to have such a knowledgeable source for this important and useful information. Bless you, sweet friend. Hugs!
Hi Wink. I’m sure they would by I bet you will still have to soak them. The recipe came from university of Oklahoma. They didn’t address dried herbs. We’ve Been investigating for a couple of weeks because I wanted to make sure that we did it right. Be careful if you find other sources that say it’s OK without refrigeration. Lots of love my dear
Thank you for this information, I’ve been wanting to make a infused olive oil ,🤗 but have been somewhat scared of doing it . Thank goodness you made this video , perfect timing . 🥰🤗
Thank you soooo much Can’t even tell you how shocked I was when I went to check on my basil olive oil recipe as some of the other videos shows to do And low and behold, the basil had mold growing on it I knew there had to be something more to making this infused olive oil so glad you took the time to share this with us all Thank you God Bless
Shared! This is important to learn how to make salves and things. Well,i,m finally home. We didn,t get to go fishin today. Lots of rain coming our way. Love you all
Can you dehydrate the herb in a dehydrator then use it? Or do you still need to soak for 24 hours then dehydrate and use? Great video I'm looking to do this for christmas. Now to figure out what to do with chocolate mint! My garden is full!
This is super informative but now im worried... Did pine infused oils yesterday, but i jumped the gun and did a few of them fresh. I put some clove oil and cloves in the mix in the hopes it may fight off mold, botulism and racidity. (im not gonna use this for eating, probably for skin care and such). Im not sure if i should dump the whole thing entirely and start over entirely, take the pines out and do something to dry it out or what?
What does citric acid do? Thank you for your kind response/ i just did oregano oil in olive oil been sitting m for 3 weeks- i was not aware of the citric acid

@@ntxg No, we did not get that message. Is it in Junction?

@@ntxg Thanks hun. I'll add it to my research list.
Do you have the link to the bottles?

My pleasure 😊❤️

Omgosh! Glad you caught it!
@@ntxg
Yes. Thank God
Can you use thyme?
Yes
I love the homemade gift-giving idea. It’s way more intimate and thoughtful, in my opinion.
I’m following your lead. 😊
❤️❤️❤️ sister
I love homemade gifts! Going to look into this as well and who doesn't like Christmas cookies! Blessings
Grab every dark bottle U find at Goodwill, Salvation Army, and other thrift shops.
ok I gotta try this
Hi Jill, thank you for the video. Im wondering if alcohol could be used as the intermediary in the process, for culinary herb oils?
Hi Monica! I’m not sure! If you try it, please let me know❤️

Still soak sister ❤️
Good morning. I use in homemade salad dressing but keep only a few days. I’ll give this a try, thanks. What? Cool?
Yum!
Remember I gave you the idea for the b e e t pulp it really does work it won't hurt anybody else
Yes ma’am!❤️
Wonderful video ❤️ Blessings 💗
I think I'll get a book on this stuff. Too risky otherwise.
Key takeaway here:
Can be dangerous without special precautions.
Exactly!

Gosh I’m not sure! I’ve never made the cleaning stuff
Hi can you post the link to the update? I can't find it 😢
There isn’t one love
Really grateful for this idea. All the best to you.
❤️
BTW My sweet potatoe slips are rooted....2 or 3 days in water...lol. ty for the reminder. : )
❤️❤️❤️
Does Thyme isn't safe like others three 🤔?
Yes
@@ntxgmany thanks 😊 🙏

Citric acid keeps bacteria from growing. Refrigerate what you made to keep it save!❤️
@@ntxg thank you for your kind reply👍👍👍
For the rats
Those dirty 🐀
