Garlic Olive Oil
4 cups pure olive oil
¾ cup garlic cloves, peeled
Pour the oil into a medium saucepan and add the garlic cloves. Place on the stove over medium heat. Bring up to 325°F on a candy or frying thermometer and then decrease the heat to low. Let simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, cool, strain through a fine-mesh sieve, and then put the oil into bottles for use.
