Ingredients

1 pound dried chile de arbol peppers, stemmed

Directions

1 Inspect twelve 4-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from water and dry thoroughly. Wash 12 new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
2 Pulse peppers in a food processor until chopped into small pieces.
3 Fill each jar 3/4 full with chopped peppers, then fill with grapeseed oil to about 1/4 inch below the rim. Stir contents of each jar carefully. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
4 Let sit for at least 8 hours before using.
5 Shake each jar before opening to use.
