Title: Hickory Smoked Salt
Post by: Tenpoint5 on April 09, 2013, 12:35:22 PM
Did another bottle of Mediterranean Sea Salt. The salt got a total of 8 hours of Hickory Smoke on two back to back days. Now it will sit corked for a couple of weeks, then I will use it in my salt grinder.

 Loaded into the Bradley waiting for the AMZNPS to get fired up and smoking

Looks good to me...I have smoked and resmoked my salts several times for more flavor. I got some from the store and it was so  potent I threw it out. Homemade is great on fresh and grilled veggies and meats. Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Much better Sparky. I like using salts that I can run through my grinder but any salt will do

You can also smoke peppercorns, eggs, any veggies, spices, almost anything so fill up the smoker.  You will not regret it..promise.  Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

What are your favorite woods for smoking salt? How about paprika?

Thanks,

I love the way that course smoked salt looks - especially in those bottles.

I bet you'd really like Black Walnut then. It's flavor is like Hickory, but stronger.   They're related trees in the Juglandaceae (walnut) family.

I'll have to try this, I'm thinking a frogmat covered with cheese cloth might get more smoke penetration and enable spreading the salt thinner. Maybe not :)

What the hell give it a shot!! I have also heard of smoking fine ground sea salt then using that in your sausage formulations (recipes)

Smoked salt and pepper in some fancy French canning jars...

They're going to be a gift hence the nice jars... otherwise it's Tupperware <lol>!
