Steps:
- 1. Finely chop all herbs and carrots, and mix them together in a bowl. The original recipe only specified using equal amounts of all the herbs, so adjust the amounts as needed to fill the canning jar you choose.
- 2. Pack the chopped mixture into a sterilized canning jar in layers, generously sprinkling each layer with the coarse salt. Once jar is filled, sprinkle 2 tbs of cold water over top of everything. Cover jar and set aside for a few days before using. Keeps well if you only use clean utensils to scoop it out each time.
- 3. Use as a seasoning when making soups, stews, omelets, stuffing, etc.
- 4. Store jar in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
SALTED HERBS
This comes from a Canadian web site, here is what was said about these herbs:These seasonings seem to be added to a lot of traditional French- Canadian recipes. "Herbs preserved with vegetables and salt make a lively seasoning for soups-particularly pea soup - sauces, stews and omelettes. A commercial brand, Les Herbes Salees du bas du fleuve, is marketed by J.Y. Roy of St. Flavie, Quebec. This recipe comes from the Metis district."
