Homemade Chili Oil

Ingredients

• 1 pound dried chile de arbol peppers, stemmed
• 4 cups grapeseed oil

Steps

1. Inspect twelve 4-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from water and dry thoroughly. Wash 12 new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
2. Pulse peppers in a food processor until chopped into small pieces.
3. Fill each jar 3/4 full with chopped peppers, then fill with grapeseed oil to about 1/4 inch below the rim. Stir contents of each jar carefully. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
4. Let sit for at least 8 hours before using.
5. Shake each jar before opening to use.
