A couple of years ago we were on vacation in Portland, Oregon and I bought a little jar of fresh herb salt. Before that I hadn’t considered that fresh herbs could be preserved so simply by mixing them with salt. I’ve bought jar after jar since then – many of them as gifts – and the other day I thought, why can’t I make this? So I did; you should too. Here’s how!
