Instructions

  • Add the vegetable oil and achiote seeds to a small saucepan over low heat.
  • Cook until the seeds release their color and infuse the oil for about 5 minutes, mixing constantly. When you see little bubbles form around the annatto seeds, it is doing its thing.
  • Let it cool completely, strain it into a glass jar and cover it.
