Delicious Herbal Salts ~ The simplest herbal preparation you'll ever make!

[@barbaramurphy5606]

Down Under it's spring and the herbs are going gangbusters. With a wet, cold front due the wood fired heater will be on so I shall make this up. Wonderful product and well produced video. Thanks from Oz.

[@corriehynes9447]

Great idea! I have lots of leftover herbs still thriving in the garden. What a perfect and delightful way to use them all year long. Thanks :)

[@SpiraeaHerbs]

Excellent!! We love preserving them this way. Had them on my eggs this morning. Delicious!

[@adaisychain5]

Thank you for sharing this! Someday can you walk ya through your garden raised beds? I love how you have at angles!

[@SpiraeaHerbs]

Yes absolutely. In the spring when it isn't a weedy jungle. And thank you so much for watching!!

[@KS-ys8vu]

Ty! This is awesome! Fermented tomato sauce sounds intriguing!

[@SpiraeaHerbs]

We do love the fermented tomato sauce. The only downside is having to store it in the fridge.

[@thedisneykid2884]

Definitely going to try this

[@skyeseaborn1170]

I’m excited to try this. Thank you.

[@SpiraeaHerbs]

We love making these. And they make fantastic gifts. My father in law tops up his jar every time he comes to visit. Lol

[@claudetteleblanc5273]

Wow Correne, another great tip. I'm so doing this. Thank you.

[@SpiraeaHerbs]

This also makes a great gift. My father in law asks for it every year!

[@remnantfewministriesminist495]

What a great idea! Love the presentation and your kitchen!😉

[@SpiraeaHerbs]

Many thanks! One of the positives of filming in my kitchen is that I am forced to keep it tidy! Ha ha. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@CreeksideSimplicity]

I’m definitely going to make this this year!

I had an extra bulb of roasted garlic and decided to use that. Ratio of salt was higher than 1:1, and I added some dried parsley as well. Was very moist as I'm sure you can understand, but I put it in an oven after I had cooked something else and left it overnight. Had to re-grind in the morning, but was delicious and I am definitely going to roast extra garlic from now on (I wrap the bulbs in tin foil and when roasted I freeze them without peeling, just leave in foil and put in plastic bag).

[@SpiraeaHerbs]

Thank you for sharing this. I had always been nervous about adding roasted garlic because of the moisture, but I have a really good dehydrator now so perhaps I will try it.

[@Sabrina1998]

You will love REDMAN REAL SALT!! That's all we have been using for the past 3 years and we love it.

[@SpiraeaHerbs]

That's great to know! Definitely going to switch to Redmans. Thanks

[@lucelicastanon9929]

I'm going to make this week, I will check back! To dehydrate what temperature do you like to set it for? How long? Thank you so much for sharing! How do you like to use it?

[@SpiraeaHerbs]

I've never dehydrated it before, but I would set it at the lowest possible setting to ensure they retain as much of their awesomeness as possible. And I use it on EVERYTHING. Lol. Anything you would use salt on. Enjoy!

[@cryseldaventer8567]

THANKS!, Great video. Was just wondering if a blender is OK.? I don't have a food processor.

[@SpiraeaHerbs]

My apologies for missing this comment. I haven't personally used a blender but it's worth a try!

[@riversedgeforestplay7635]

Can you used dried herbs or do they have to be fresh?

[@SpiraeaHerbs]

I personally haven't used dry, but a bunch of people have after watching this video and the feedback is good! You might need to use slightly higher quantities of dried herbs, but I would tinker with those ratios to see if you get the flavour/balance you are looking for.

[@kathydarling1017]

How low should the temp be in an oven? My new one goes lower than my last oven.

[@SpiraeaHerbs]

I don't put them in the oven at all! I let it all dry out on the counter for about 24 hours.

[@Uprightfossil]

I use my dehydrator at 95 degrees for 24 hours

[@SpiraeaHerbs]

That works!

[@kathydarling1017]

Do I need a food processor?

[@SpiraeaHerbs]

I've only ever used a food processor. But I imagine you could chop the herbs very finely and mix by hand.

[@kathydarling1017]

@@SpiraeaHerbs I have a small processor. Think I'm going to purchase a larger one.

[@bgdn5]

Isn’t it easier to first completely dry the leaves of the plants and mix the already dry ones with salt, then they will no need to be dried after mixing with salt

[@SpiraeaHerbs]

You absolutely can do that but I have found that the flavour is much better when you use fresh herbs! Just a preference of mine :)
