So, we made our own. We have small batches all over the house now with different combinations, like a spicy celery salt blend in the bar for Bloody Mary’s, or the excellent superhot salt blend in the kitchen that I like to use as a finisher. You can incorporate milder peppers or other dried ingredients to achieve the flavors you desire. You’ll also need dehydrated chili peppers or pepper flakes. You can purchase some in the store or order online. This is a very basic recipe that only uses salt and peppers, though you can also add in other dried ingredients, such as garlic powder, peppercorns, dried lime zest, etc. Pulse to combine in the food processor, or use the pestle to grind up the salt and peppers into a uniform blend. Once everything is ground up to your desired consistency, transfer it to a serving jar or better yet, to a grinder. Also, homemade salt blends make wonderful holiday gifts. Again, you don’t have to use SUPERHOTS like I do. Consider what flavors you might want to incorporate for your family and friends. What do they love? Focus on that. But if you know any chiliheads out there, and I’m guessing you do, they would LOVE to receive something like this at the next holiday gathering. Enjoy! And yes, this makes an excellent holiday gift because most people won’t think of making it for themselves. Once they try it, though, they’ll be asking for more.
