Ingredients
  

Jalapeno Salt Ingredients
  • 10 pieces fresh jalapenos about ½ cup when dehydrated
  • 1 cup coarse kosher salt acts as the base and preservative

Equipment

  • Dehydrator
  • food processor
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash about 10 fresh jalapenos thoroughly, cut off the stems, and dice them into small pieces. Spread on a dehydrator tray or lined baking sheet. Dehydrate at 125°F for 6-10 hours.
  2. Once jalapenos are dehydrated and brittle, allow them to cool. Transfer to a food processor and pulse 2-3 times for a small, uniform texture.
  3. Measure out 1 cup of coarse kosher salt and add to the food processor with the jalapenos. Pulse until fully combined, about 10-15 seconds.
  4. Check the texture; pulse more if chunkier salt is desired, but avoid over-processing.
  5. Transfer the finished Jalapeno Salt into an airtight container and store it in a cool, dark place.

Wear protective gear while blending. Ensure jalapenos are fully dehydrated to avoid spoilage. Consider making large batches for convenience.
