I have been making this for many years now without any problems, however, I would advise proceeding with plenty of caution and most definitely advise that you read the notes on home-made garlic olive oil and botulism before you even consider making your own.

I leave these notes purely as a personal aide-memoir for my future batches.

Servings

Procedure

  • Add the oil to a very large pan, complete with the garlic bulbs.
  • Very gently bring the oil to a slow-rolling boil
  • Reduce the heat and simmer' for about an hour, gently squishing the garlic bulbs with a potato masher or similar.
  • Allow to cool for 30 minutes
  • Repeat the process above
  • Cool and stand 2 hours
  • Strain the oil multiple times, finally filter through a muslin cloth
  • Store in sterilised bottles - it seems to keep forever.
