Preparation of Flavored Salt in 3 Homemade Versions
Weigh all the ingredients using small bowls and a scale, then place them in the blender and blend coarsely. If the salt heats up, let it cool, and once cooled, pour it into the jar, label it with the delicate/green name, close it, and set it aside.
This salt is suitable for use on meat (white and red), fish, vegetables, bruschetta, roast potatoes, basically it’s a multipurpose salt because it remains very delicate!
Using a scale and a bowl, weigh all the ingredients, mix them well, and pour them into the jar. In this case, there’s no need to blend, close it, and label it with aromatic/India.
This salt is suitable for use with: white meats (chicken, turkey, rabbit), to season and flavor risottos and broths.
Weigh all the ingredients, then mix them in a bowl and pour them into the jar. If you like, before jarring, you can blend everything like in the first delicate salt, but I personally prefer to leave this one natural, close with a lid, and label it with spicy/fire.
This salt is dedicated to those who love bold flavors and is suitable for use with: red meats, BBQ ribs, pasta sauces, fish dishes like mussel soup, or anywhere you need a spicy note.
TIPS FOR PACKAGING JARS AND GIVING THEM AS GIFTS FOR CHRISTMAS OR OTHER OCCASIONS
To package this flavored salt in 3 homemade versions, I recommend, once the jar is closed, applying a label with the type of salt name, then using a string to attach around the jar a card with the intended uses for each type of salt (uses which you can find written below each preparation in the dedicated section above).
You can give individual flavors/jars packaged as described above, or you can give all 3 flavors together packed (in addition to tags and strings as written above) inside a wooden crate (easily found at DIY stores at a low price) along with a Christmas-themed tea towel, they will be very appreciated gifts, I assure you!
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I use regular salt instead of pink salt?
Yes, you can use regular salt, but remember it is more “flavorful/salty” than pink salt, so the aromas will be slightly less pronounced but it will still be good.
