Prep Time Process Time Overall Time
40 Minutes 20 Minutes 1 hour
Directions:

Use only Annatto Seeds that have a bright-reddish in color. Seeds that are a brownish color are old and have probably lost much of their flavor.

1. On medium-low heat, in a heavy saucepan, combine the Annatto Seeds and Olive oil.

2. Allow to steep for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Bring mixture to a low and gentle boil while stirring continuously.

4. Remove saucepan from the heat and allow to cool thoroughly.

5. Strain through a very fine sieve and pour the strained oil into a bottle and cap tightly.

6. This oil will keep for up to 6 months if it is refrigerated and capped tightly.

7. Be sure to label and date your bottle.

Step up your veggie dip game. Instead of using a conventional serving bowl, use a hollowed-out red cabbage. Not only does it add a colorful and eye candy element to your table, but it also serves as a practical and edible vessel for your favorite dip.
