1 cup red wine (choose a wine with a flavor profile you like)

1 cup sea salt or kosher salt (coarse salt works best)

1 cup dried rosemary

Directions

To reduce the wine: Pour the red wine into a small saucepan and heat it over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, 15 to 20 minutes. This process will concentrate the wine flavors and remove excess moisture. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the reduced wine cool down.
Mix the reduced wine with the sea salt and rosemary in a mixing bowl. Stir well to thoroughly incorporate the wine into the salt. You should end up with a slightly damp mixture.
To dry the mixture: Preheat the oven to the lowest temperature setting (usually around 150 degrees F or 65 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Spread the wine and salt mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven and leave the door slightly ajar to allow moisture to escape. Bake until the mixture becomes completely dry and no longer clumps together, 2 to 3 hours.
Let the wine salt cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container or a small jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Now you have homemade wine salt with rosemary ready to enhance the flavor of your favorite dishes. Use it as a finishing touch on grilled meats, roasted vegetables or even sprinkle it on fresh salads to add a unique and savory twist. Enjoy experimenting with different types of wine to create unique variations of wine salt.
