Homemade Rosemary Salt

Posted 03/09/2010 by Briana in Cooking and Food \ 4 comments

Briana is a Colorado native who married a seriously amazing man, Dr. Dave, on June 20, 2009. She's obsessed with ruffles, vintage shoe clips, banjo players, and creamy risotto. Briana also adores flowers and is creating her own business plan (after DIY-ing her own wedding flowers) for a floral company called "Petaling in Tandem." She and Dr. Dave recently remodeled a 1941 bungalow in Denver, Colorado, with their own grubby hands. Dr. Dave's job will likely be taking them to a new location shortly, so they're brushing up on those plumbing skills all over again! Their new family challenge is to create their sustainable and organic lifestyle, while keeping it affordable and practical.

Are you ready for the easiest impressive gourmet DIY you’ve ever seen? (Ok, maybe not EVER, but it’s pretty easy).  Two words for you: Rosemary Salt. You’ve already probably figured that out from the post title. So away we go!

You will need:

-1 cup of sea salt, your choice (they say there’s a difference in qualities of sea salt but darned if I can tell the difference, so I just use whatever’s on sale)
-1/4 cup packed fresh rosemary
-Jar in which you can put your salt (can’t say this enough: save your old glass jars!!)

Step 1: Measure.

Step 2 Put in food processor.

Process until it looks something like this (no more big chunks of rosemary in there)

Step 3: Put in a bottle and let it sit around in a dark, cool spot for about 1 month.

Rosemary salt is great for so many things. I keep it by the stove and throw it in when I’m cooking meat dishes, pasta…whatever!

Let me know if you try it, and if so, how you like to use it!

    Love it! Making vanilla sugar to give as gifts this holiday season completely opened up the world of infused sugar and salts to me. So simple and just incredibly delicious to have on hand! Nicely done.

    Briana, this is brilliant, thanks for posting this! The simplest ideas seem to be the most elusive. Anything that will help me flavor without adding sugar or fat, I’m scouring the Earth for!
