Default Re: Salt

This is actually pretty damn awesome. I never even thought of trying to make my own salt, much less smoke it. I doubt I'd have the time to honestly give it a try, but this place never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for all the wonderful info though! But hey, maybe I could give a shot at smoking some salt.. That might be worth a try. :-D

Do it! Like I mentioned I will be doing it next time I am in Nantucket.

You can make it a family affair I'm sure. Zest lemon and limes, dry, then toss that with your salt in a food processor. You can do w/e you want. I am going to start doing it to create finishing salts.

I had never thought about it either. Just one those things in life you just assume is always there and never think about HOW it got there.

Give it a try man. It does take time, but most of it you don't need to be standing over it. Just check it every hour until it turns to paste, then turn the heat down and make sure it doesn't burn.

For "smoked" salt, could you just add some liquid smoke to the water you are boiling down? Seems to me the salt would take on that flavor.

Might work, I'm not sure that the flavor will be as intense as if you smoke it yourself though. Make sure you read the ingredients on the liquid smoke, some of them have all kinds of other crap in them that might not work out well (like food grade glycerine and some even use artificial flavoring).
