Recipe - Cayenne Pepper Oil

3 cup Corn or peanut oil
Three fourths cup Cayenne pepper

Makes 3 cups

A whoppingly spicyhot oil, this is the perfect seasoning to use when you
are wanting 1,000watt chili power with only a few drops of oil. Be strict
about observing the oil temp., and do not add the cayenne if the oil is
hotter than 250*F, or it will burn to a hideous mess.

1. Pour the oil into a heavy, nonaluminum 1One half to 2quart saucepan.
Bring to 225*F on a deepfry thermometer over moderately low heat. Remove
the pan from the heat, stir in the cayenne powder, and let cool to room
temperature undisturbed, or overnight if you like.

2. Strain the oil slowly and patiently through one or more large paper
coffee filters into an impeccably clean glass jar. Store at cool room
temperature.
