Ingredients
- 2 cups Salt
- 1 cup Lilac blossoms
Instructions
- Harvest your lilac blossoms.2. Choose a sunny day when the flowers are dry and fragrant.3. Gently remove the blossoms from the stems. Only use the pink part.4. Combine the blossoms with your salt in teh food processor and pulse it. I like to use a ratio that feels generous with flowers; you want to see them, smell them, almost feel like you're overdoing it, because it can be bitter if you use too many lilac flowers.5. Spread the mixture out on a clean surface or a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let it air dry for 24 hours. Stir it occasionally so the moisture from the blossoms evaporates evenly.6. Once the salt is fully dry, you can leave it as is for a rustic look or lightly crush it to blend the blossoms more evenly. Transfer it to a jar, and that's it. You've just made your own floral condiment.
