Red Wine Salt

By draingal

Ingredients

• 1 cup of red wine
• Handful of thyme
• 1 tbsp. of peppercorns
• sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

Bring wine to boil in a medium sauce pot and then lower to a simmer and reduce to about 1/4 cup. Turn off the flame and let the wine cool and the pepper and thyme infuse into the reduced wine. When the wine is cool, pour through a strainer. This will be enough reduced wine to infuse over a pound of salt! For smaller quantities mix one cup of good quality sea salt with 1/2 TBSP red wine reduction stir together so that the salt is richly colored with the wine. Spread the salt out on a cutting board or lined sheet pan and let air dry over night! Your salt will be ready for use the next day! Use on steak, chocolate, strawberries etc.
