Jerk Fire Oil

This post may contain affiliate links.

Jerk Fire Oil is a spicy infused olive oil inspired by Jamaican Jerk. Use it the same as you would for olive oil-- sautéing, drizzling on pizza or bread, mix with lemon or vinegar to make dressing-- hard to go wrong.

Once filtered, the Fire Oil will last about one month in a cool location. Refrigeration is needed if you'd like to leave the ingredients in the oil.

DIRECTIONS

STEP 1: HEAT

• Submerge a mason jar in a pot full of water and bring to a boil.

• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil to 350°F.

STEP 2: COMBINE

• Carefully remove the mason jar from the water with tongs

  • WARNING! The jar and water will be extremely hot and will burn if touched.

• Ensure no water is left in the jar, then add the red pepper, habaneros, garlic, lime, allspice, cinnamon, and thyme.

  • We leave the garlic cloves whole for a lighter garlic flavor. However, coarsely chopping the cloves will increase the garlic intensity.

• Then, carefully pour in the hot oil.

• Allow to completely cool and infuse for at least 2-3 hours.

STEP 3: STRAIN

• Once cooled, strain the oil and serve.
