Hello All -
In the past, I have made chile oil by cutting  up dried chiles and heating
them with a mild vegetable oil.  I'm still thinking of things to do with the
rest of the Tabasco Mash we brought back from NO.  So, I decided to make a
batch of chile oil with that.  2 cups vegetable oil,  1 cup Tabasco Mash.
Sure smells good -- needed a sinus cleaning anyways!  From the initial
results, the vinager taste does not transfer to the oil.  I'm thinking of
using it in salsas etc.  Tastes pretty good hot, once it cools off it may be
different...  What do you think??
