Confetti Citrus Salt

Citrus salt and zest are not just for the gourmet cook! Did you know the peels are loaded with nutrients? It adds great flavors to salads, fish, and desserts! This method is a great way to use fruit before it spoils. The peels can be frozen and cut up later. The juice can be frozen and when recipes call for 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice you have it already measure out! This recipe will give any cook a nice Valentine's Day gift and it is quick, easy, and very inexpensive to make! This tutorial was inspired by the Valentine's Contest. Let's make some Confetti!  

Step 1: Ingredients and Utensils

Ingredients:

Citrus peels
Course sea salt or salt flakes
Seasonings as desired I used parsley for the lemon salt.
 

Tools:

Cookie sheet
Knife
Juicer 
Jars with lids
Food grater or zester

This is so so pretty! I'm about to run our of citrus salt. I think I'll need to make mine fancy next time, too!

Thanks Jessy! I took over 100 pictures to try and capture how pretty it looked and still did not get the perfect picture. Some days are like that. Spices are so expensive! I hope to grow my own next year and have everything I need. Hope you day shines!
