Flavored Salts and Sugars

by | Snacks

I’ve read a lot about flavored salts and sugars over the years and also picked some up but never made any.  This was fun and the girls enjoyed helping me chop and mix.  They especially love choosing one for their popcorn snacks!

I also plan on using these when I need a quick way to add flavor to pan seared chicken or fish.  I’d love to know how you would use them.  I so enjoy hearing from you and what you like, how you cook, alter my recipes and what you want to see more of, so please leave a comment.  They truly make my day!

  1. Finely chop rosemary.
  2. Grate orange and lemon rind. I use these Microplane graters.
  3. Let dry overnight (12-14 hours).
  4. Combine in a bowl.
  5. Store in airtight container. (Love these Le Parfait French hermetic glass terrines.)
  6. *My salt had a bit of moisture so I poured it into a bowl to dry overnight, as well.
