It does look like you could try pressure-canning some oil with (carefully
washed) herbs in it (let the heat infusion happen during the
pressure-canning process). I haven't any idea what the result would be,
but I would be willing to talk to one of my mom's pressure-canning-fiend
friends about trying it. Might be worth while to talk to the local
cooperative extension home ec person to be sure this is considered safe
though.
