Here's a pic of the last stage of making chili oil. I took a piece of cheesecloth and laid it loosely over the top of a mason jar. Then a good idea hit me: rather than trying to awkwardly hold it in place, I screwed the ring back on. It held the cloth in place nicely while I poured the oil in. None of the pepper flakes got through at all. Next stop is the refrigerator and it will save here for a couple months. Note: You can do this with any dried spice from the garden. Don't use fresh spices as bacteria will form in the oil. Heating the oil brings out the flavor and also prevents any bacteria growth. Chili Heads unite! LOL
