Basil Salt

 

I saw this in a facebook post, and this year I have an abundance of basil, so I thought I would try it.  I love basil, it's definitely one of my favorite herbs!  Suggestions for using it include:

On Eggs, on Chicken, On tomatoes, in pasta sauces, in soups, in salad dressings, in pasta salads...

The Recipe
=============
1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
2 cups of Kosher Salt

Place in a blender or food processor and pulse to break down the leaves.

Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or a silicone mat) 

Bake for 30 minutes at 175. 

Break apart clumps, allow to cool, then place in a jar to store.
