Chive Oil

Summer time pizzas, made fresh from the oven sounds great right?  Or Italian anything sounds good.  I decided that I needed some homemade chive oil for those types of meals.


With a few free minutes (I'm so funny) I cut some of those fresh chives we are getting from the garden.


 
Now, if the sun will come out like the weather forecast has predicted, this oil will be ready to use in a few weeks.

Have never heard of chive oil . . . but it sure sounds good!

Rain here for us today. Rats. Just when I was really getting going in the garden!

Sam I Am, I used organic/non-gmo olive oil. One cup to about 1/4-1/2 cup fresh chives. I bruised them with 1 cup of oil, then poured in the second cup of oil. Can't wait to use it.

Mama Pea, I am so anxious to go weed the gardens today, but it's so wet yet, even though the sun is out. I know more rain is coming, and I can the thistle growing over night.

How do you keep that from turning? I've tried to make flavored oils several times. It always ends up a scary bubbling mess. LOL
God bless.

RB, I ran my chives through my salad spinner to remove any water (from rinsing them). It really helps to dry them off first.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
