🌿 COMING to MARKET! 🌿
I will have limited editions of two of my favorite seasoning salts!
🌿 WILD RAMP SALT! 🌿
This is one of my favorite ways to put up Wild Ramps so I can enjoy their flavor all year long!
Wild Ramp Salt is especially wonderful on fried potatoes, eggs and rice dishes. It's also divine on chicken and fish. And equally wonderful in soups and stews.
LIMITED SUPPLY (7 jars) — $10 for 4oz/113g jars
🌿 APPLEWOOD SMOKED SALT! 🌿
I sold out last Saturday and had a few requests for more so I broke into my private stash for these 4 jars!
This small batch, artisan salt adds a sweet and savory touch to just about any dish. My Smoked Applewood Sea Salt is made with pure kosher sea salt that has been slowly cold smoked using applewood chips.
* Pairs with any cut of meat - beef, pork, chicken, turkey or fish
* Sprinkle over grilled veggies
* For smoky popcorn, grind it a bit in a mortar and pestle and sprinkle over hot kernels
* Adds an unforgettable smoked flavor to any dish
* Applewood Smoked Sea Salt is KOSHER
LIMITED SUPPLY (4 jars) - $10 for 4oz/113g jars

🌿 Wild Ramp Salt 🌿
Easy, peasy right? Just pick, dehydrate & chop the leaves then mix with a high quality kosher salt. Jar up & seal. Easy.
🌿
Silly people! Here’s the behind the scenes reality —
🌿 All leaves have to be washed, sorted and patted dry
🌿 The dehydrator runs 3 days straight — slow and easy so the leaves don’t fry
🌿 Trays are rotated several times a day. Leaves are fluffed to make sure they dehydrate evenly
🌿 Once dried everything goes into the food processor. Twice. Stems sorted out
🌿
What was once 5 to 6 cups of beautiful leaves has now been reduced to just under a cup of salt ready dried leaves
🌿
And I’m still not done! Salt has to be added in just the right portion. Jars need sterilizing and filled. Then vacuum sealed & labeled.
🌿
Is the final product worth all the work?! OMG yes!! Try it once and you’ll discover instantly why I go to the trouble to make my own Wild Ramp Seasoning Salt!
