Rustic Red Merlot Salt

 

Would you like a little salt with that whine? In this case, YES! Bring on the wine! We will need to two cups, please! 

Preheat oven to 170 degrees F. Reduce 2 cups of Merlot down by simmering over med heat for about 15 minutes leaving about 1 TBS of Syrup. Let it cool and add 1/2 cups of Kosher Salt. Mix to incorporate. Pour mixture to a lined cookie sheet. Also, cover with more parchment and add to oven. Cook for 1 hour or until dry. Check every 15 minutes and stir mixture. Or you can leave in the oven with a pilot light for a couple of days until dry. 

It's wonderful on lamb, chocolate, or red meat!
