A temp low enough not to burn will evaporate off the moisture. Beyond my experience, but I can’t see why not. A temp low enough not to burn will evaporate off the moisture.

Store them in the fridge and they'll last for ages - a good 6 months or so. Hi Pam,

Do I have to heat the jars and oil and then put in a water bath like I would for jellies? I want to preserve them in jars like I get at the store and use them as gifts. Please be more specific for this rookie trying to learn. Thanks! Question
