"This recipe has been in my family for generations. This is my mom's version. The amount of olive oil depends on the size of jars you use. The pepper flakes we use for this recipe are call "Aji Molido", it is not spicy but very flavorful, so please be careful. The first time I make this with regular American Hot pepper flakes I almost kill my boyfriend at the time.(Aji Molido is from Argentina)"
