Ingredients
8 ozs of feta cheese cut into bite size cubes
2 to 3 1-inch sprigs of fresh rosemary or other herb(s) of your choice
2 to 3 slices of red pepper
Whole pepper seeds
Olive oil


Instructions
Place a sprig of your chosen herb on the bottom of a clean jar. Now fill the jar with cheese. Place 2 to 3 sprigs of your herb in the jar with the cheese.  Now add the sliced red pepper. Drop a small pinch of pepper seeds in the jar. Pour in the olive oil until the cheese is completely covered and attach the jar lid. Place the jar in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 8 hours so all the flavors will infuse. The feta will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator. Though it is recommended to keep this in the refrigerator, my preference is not to ever put my jars in the refrigerator.  However, I'm not really sure how long it will keep stored in the pantry as mine never lasts more than a few days.

This makes a great hostess gift!  Just remember to remove from the refrigerator in enough time for the oil to warm back to room temperature before presenting as a gift.


Any oil and byproducts left in the jar when the cheese is gone can be used to make a salad dressing or added to soups and vegetables.
