winey salt

So ever so often the free metro newspaper actually has a good article. This past week there was an article about the TedX Toronto conference and a guy who started a webpage/company/blog all about preserving and canning (http://wellpreserved.ca/). Sadly I wasn't able to watch his talk due to work but I have been browsing the blog for the last couple of days and I came across this interesting idea for wine flavoured salt.

Now when I started my new job I was given a free bottle of wine. I don't like win. Everyone tells me its an acquired taste... I have tried to acquire it for a while but I don`t like wine. So I really didn't have an idea of what to do with this bottle of while. 6 months it has sat in on a shelf waiting for something to happen. Well today it is getting turned into salt.

Step 1: pour bottle of wine into pot.

Step 2: Boil the crap out of it until there is almost nothing left

Step 3: Dump 1 cup of coarse sea salt into the syrupy wine residue.

Step 4: mix well and spread out on a tray to air dry.

Step 5: ever so often run a fork through the salt just to mix it up. This will help keep it from sticking.
