Infused Oil

Gather clean fresh herb and allow it to wilt for one to three days.  Without washing it, chop the fresh herb in a food processor or mash it with a mortar and pestle, then warm it in just enough oil to cover and simmer lightly for 3 hours.  Stir occasionally and make sure not to let the mixture boil.  Squeeze the mixture through a jelly bag into a glass jar.  Allow it to stand for one week while water and impurities settle, then decant into over sterilized amber glass bottles or jars and store in the fridge.
