Lemony Orange Salt

Preheat the oven to 225 F.

Combine the above ingredients in a bowl and mix very well. Spread out the mixed ingredients on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Put the baking sheet into the oven and let the mixture heat for 60 minutes. Cooking times will vary (the zest should crumple when rolled between your fingers).

Remove the salt from the oven. Let it cool slightly. Take the parchment paper and gather it at the top, so that the ingredients sit at the bottom and cannot spill from the parchment. With your fingers press the salt (it may have clumps) while it remains in the parchment. Pour the salt contents into a bowl and further stir and press with a spoon to make the contents fine (so that it easily pours through a salt shaker).

Place the finished salt in a shaker and enjoy on your food whether it’s cooking or finished. It does add a nice touch. Enjoy!
