From theKitchn.One teaspoon equals 1 serving. (IMPORTANT NOTE: The texture of this salt is a bit like kosher salt- so, if you use a granulated salt, you need to use less, and if you use a coarse crystal salt you need to use more)

Time 10m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 72 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup smoked salt (your choice, recommended- fine Saltworks Salish Alderwood Smoked Salt-see recipe description)
1/4 cup veggie bacon bits (of your choice, if homemade, make sure they are very dry!)
6 pieces sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (dry, NOT in oil)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated organic sugar
2 tablespoons hot smoked paprika (pimenton)
1 tablespoon sweet smoked paprika (pimenton)
1/2 tablespoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (OR use smoked black pepper, freshly-ground)
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

  • NOTE: If you want the salt to be a little more coarse, mix all of the ingredients EXCEPT the salt in the blender or VitaMix first. When they are powdery, add the salt and whiz until it's the texture you want.
  • Mix everything in the DRY VitaMix (or use a good blender) and blended on high, stopping now and then to stir everything up (because it tends to clump together), and then blend again. When you can't feel any tomato bits anymore, stop. IScrape the mixture into a dry bowl and mix it with a spoon to fluff it up. Scoop it into a dry 1-pint canning jar with a tight lid. You can put some in a shaker-jar for table use.
