Ingredients

Lemon, Thyme, Rosemary Salt

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest freshly dried & grated
  • 1 teaspoon thyme freshly dried & chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Rosemary freshly dried & chopped
  • 1/2 cup coarse sea salt

Bourbon Bacon Salt

  • 1/2 cup coarse sea salt
  • 2 ounces bacon bits
  • 1/2 tablespoons bourbon

Instructions

For the Lemon, Thyme, Rosemary Salt

  • Chop and dry the herbs and lemon zest a few days in advance. Once dried, mix with the salt in a food processor and pulse until combined (and slightly pulverized, if using coarse salt).
  • Pour into gift containers and decorate as you like.

For the Bourbon Bacon Salt

  • Preheat the oven to 200°F.
  • Place the bacon bits and salt in a food processor. Sprinkle on the bourbon so it’s not all in one place. Pulse to incorporate (and slightly pulverized, if using coarse salt).
  • Spread the salt out on a baking sheet. Put the salt in the oven to dry for about 30 minutes. You can stir it and smooth it out again 1-2 times while drying, so it dries better.
  • Let the salt cool completely. Then pour into gift containers and decorate as you like.

Notes

We used two different containers for the salt.
