Lemon Infused EVOO

I love lemon infused olive oil but it is difficult to find and expensive when I do find it.  So, I am making my own!    It's super easy.    You need a clean dry jar.  6 lemons washed and dried.  It is very important not to get any moisture in the mix or bacteria will grow.   Peel the lemons, making sure not to leave any of the fruit on the peel, put the peels into the jar. fill your jar with Extra Virgin Olive Oil to completely cover the peels.  Tightly close the jar and put it aside for about 2 weeks.  After 2 weeks strain the oil back into it's original bottle or a decorative bottle.  Enjoy on vegetables, pasta, or fish. Yummy!
