Dipping Oils and Flavored Vinegar
Written by Gayle
These gifts for foodies are so much fun to make and give! The vinegar takes about a month for the flavors to "marry", so be sure to let your loved one know before they pop it open for a tasty salad!

Option 1: Raspberries and fresh mint leaves (use champagne vinegar)
Option 2: Slices of lemon peel, sliced garlic cloves, chopped fresh rosemary (use white wine vinegar)

Directions
Flavored Vinegar:
Place your chosen flavorings in a quart-sized jar. Pour the vinegar over the items into the jar. Cover with a non-metal lid (or put a piece of plastic wrap between the lid and the jar). Refrigerate for about three to four weeks, swirling it around every day.
After a month or so, pour the contents through a strainer and then into your chosen bottles (with a funnel). Add a gift tag with a ribbon. Voilà!
Italian Sun-Dried Tomato Dipping Oil:
In a small pan, heat 1/4 cup of olive oil. Add the herbs and the garlic, and just heat until softened. Remove from the heat and let cool. Add the rest of the ingredients and the rest of the oil and then blend well. Pour into a bottle and allow to sit for several hours before serving. These should be used within about a week, or kept in the refrigerator.
