Sounds like a great idea to make as a hostess gift. However, may I use the 3-year old crushed red pepper flakes that I have??? (still smells peppery, and not rancid. Or do I have to go out and buy another jar that will take another 3 years to get in to?

I would recommend you strain the oil before bottling in a glass canning jar. This will result in a pleasantly flavored oil as opposed to an over-poweringly (and potentially bitter flavored oil. Also, storing in a tightly sealed jar, such as a canning jar with a rubber seal, is VERY important. Lastly, remember to REFRIGERATE. Enjoy!
