Christmas Project: Rosemary Olive Oil

This is ridulously easy to make, and once you make your own, you'll never turn back.  Rosemary olive oil is great for sautéing, dressings, and marinades.  It also makes an inspiring base for white bean dip. 

Ingredients:
2 cups olive oil
2-3 sprigs rosemary

Instructions:  Wash the rosemary with a slightly damp washcloth and set them aside to dry. Make sure the sprigs are completely dry before combining them with the oil.  Heat olive oil in a sauce pan; heat on low until warm—not hot, as you want to retain the olive oil’s healthful properties.  Place rosemary sprigs into the bottle and carefully pour the warm olive oil inside. Seal the bottle with a lid or cork, and place on a window sill that receives indirect  sunlight. Let the rosemary infuse into the oil for about a week.
