Annatto Oil Puerto Rican/Cuban

Cooking Instructions

Combine 4 tbsp. of annatto seeds with 1 cup of cooking oil or shortening in a small caldero or saucepan. Cook over low heat until seeds until oil turns red/orange. Be careful that this doesn't burn because the oil will turn bitter and will need to be tossed. Cool thoroughly strain and jar. Store in refrigerator until needed. Discard seeds.
