Flavored Salts
December 02, 2006
I am always looking for something fun to make as gifts. This year I am (hoping) to make some flavored salts. I have seen them in food mags but they are soo expensive. But these are easy to make and help add a little something to your cooking. Here is a gift tag to give with the salts. The picture is a little blurry but click on it and the picture in the new window is clearer.
Holiday Berry Salt
In food processor blend 1 cup salt, 1/2 cup dried cranberries, 1 TBL. anise (or fennel) seeds, 1 TBL ground pepper. Process till cranberries are finely chopped.
Citrus Lavender Salt.
Mix in bowl 1 cup salt, 4 TBL. dried lavender buds, 2 TBL. finely grated lemon peel, 2 TBL. finely grated orange peel
What a clever idea Clarice! Would it be good to make it with course Kosher salt? I just bought some.

Oh how divine Clarice! strangely enough, this weekend there was a visiting French farmers market in my hometown,I bought a big bag of organic sea salt, now I know what I shall use it for!

That sounds really interesting. Am I getting some? I would like to make some seasoning blends like RR's grill mix or a fish blend. Love, Mom
