Recipe-Homemade Herb Salt

Below is my recipe for a homemade herb salt. It is a labor of love and takes a few days to get the final product but it is so worth it!!!

Herb Salt
Yields: About 4#

Ingredients:

1# Fresh Rosemary
1# Fresh Thyme
1# Fresh Sage
3# Kosher Salt


Method:

1. Remove the rosemary and sage from there stems and spread the herbs on the sheet tray. Place the thyme on a separate sheet tray still on the stems.

2. Place the sheet trays of herbs into your oven and let them dry by just your pilot lite. This process depending on your oven with take 2-3 days for them to dry. Do not leave them in the oven for to long. If the herbs start turning black, remove from the oven and let them air dry.

3. Once the herbs are completely dry place small amounts in a Molcajete and grind the herbs to the consistency that you want for your salt.

4. Once they are all ground up, let them air dry for another day.

5. The next day, place small amount again into the Molcajete and add some salt and well, about 3 tablespoons and grind to help infuse the flavors into the salt.

6. Do this process for 4-5 times and mix with the remaining salt.

7. Place in a air tight container. I use mason jars.

-Use herb salts for many applications like mixing in mashed potatoes, sprinkle over veggies, salads and much more, enjoy!!!
