Finishing salts are an easy and perfect way to use the herbs in your garden and they make beautiful and delicious handmade gifts for the family and friends. The chive blossom salt not only tastes fantastic, but also looks great with its light purple colour.
You can use chive blossom salt on grilled meats and veggies, sprinkle it over avocado toast, and salads, or use it to make a compound butter. My favourite way to use it is to season a blue steak, salad, roasted asparagus and Quark cheese-so simple yet so dang tasty.
- 300 g Coarse sea salt
- 1 cup Chive blossoms
- Zest of 1 large organic lemon, grated
|
- Line a small baking tray with a piece of parchment paper. Place sea salt, chive blossoms and grated lemon zest together on the prepared tray.
- Use your hands to rub everything together. Spread out the mixture into one layer. Cover the tray with a large umbrella food cover.
- Allow the salt mixture to dry out at room temperature in a warm and dry area. (I left mine at the kitchen window for 4 days) This will take around 2-4 days depending on the humidity. During this time, the salt should be turned and stired several times for even drying. You can dry the mixture in an oven for about 1 - 2 hours at 50C/122F. To allow the moisture to escape from the oven, a wooden spoon is clamped between the oven door.
- Once the finishing salt is dry, package it into a clean dry jar with an airtight lid. They make a great holiday gift.

ReplyDeleteSo pretty, and beautiful photos as usual!
ReplyDeleteI would be very happy to give these as gifts. Your photos are works of art Angie :)
ReplyDeleteI learned something new today. The chive blossoms in my garden are white so we have different types of chives. Don't know if I can use the white blossom in this recipe.
ReplyDeleteYou do present some interesting ideas!
ReplyDeleteI love this as a hostess gift!!! Unique and beautiful, plus it will be a delicious addition to so many savory dishes.
ReplyDeleteGrazie, lo voglio provare a fare!!
ReplyDelete@Nancy Chan Sure, Nancy. You can use white chive blossoms to make the finishing salt. I like blue blossoms because I prefer the colour contrast against white sea salt and yellow lemon zest.
ReplyDeleteAngie, finishing salts can add incredible flavor and color. You are right, they make beautiful gifts.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful salt, I love the color!
ReplyDeleteThat salt looks pretty
ReplyDeleteI love to make finishing salts, and this one not only sounds good, but it looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteA great gift idea and a tasty touch for dishes.
ReplyDeleteGreetings
It's Judee- I love this idea and have never seen anything like it. I grow herbs and usually just use them for salads and cooking. There are always herbs that go to waste- this idea is brilliant and I can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteFirst you inspire me to try chive blossom butter, and now this salt. Great idea - loving it!
ReplyDeleteNice. Great blend of soft colors in the salt.
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative! Like I mentioned earlier, I miss the chive blossoms but I'm saving this for the next bloom. Now you have inspired me to start looking around my garden and see what I can use in a finishing salt, something I use a lot.
ReplyDeleteLoved these pictures when I spotted them in Instagram. Your style and photography are just beautiful. Great idea too.
