Servings:

Put all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until fully combined.
1 cup iodized salt, ¼ cup cooked bacon crumbles, ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat the oven to 170°F (or the lowest setting on your oven).
Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until combined.
2 tbsp Buffalo sauce, 1 tbsp ranch seasoning, 1 cup kosher salt
Spread salt on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 2 hours. Every 30 minutes, flip the salt to make sure it doesn’t burn or meld together.
Put salt back into food processor and pulse once more. The salt should break up and form a finer consistency. Enjoy!

Preheat oven to 170°F or your oven’s lowest heat setting.
Pour bottle of wine into a medium saucepan and simmer on low heat until it reduces significantly and becomes a syrup. This might take 45–60 minutes. Take off the heat.
750 ml chocolate wine
Place salt and wine reduction in food processor and pulse until well combined. The mixture will be relatively sticky.
1 cup sea salt
Spread mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chop up as much as possible to spread the salt.
Bake for 2 hours, flipping and chopping it every 30 minutes.
Once dried out, return the salt to a food processor and pulse. The salt should break up and form a thinner/more salt like consistency.
