Instructions

  • Fill each jar with about six heaping tablespoons of either herb salt or spiced sugar.
  • Print labels, above, onto label sheets. It's a good idea to test your printer first on a plain piece of paper and then hold that paper up to the light with a sheet of labels behind it to check for alignment. Make sure to print at 100%, not "fit to page."
  • Adhere a label onto the flat insert on each jar lid.
  • Screw lids onto jars and gift away. Salt and sugar keep well for at least a year.

Notes

  1. The herb salt is very versatile. Try sprinkling it over everything from avocado toast to potatoes to risotto to roast chicken.
  2. The spiced sugar is great in coffee, tea, oatmeal, and more.
  3. Both the herb salt and the spiced sugar will keep well in their airtight containers at room temperature for at least a year. I like that their long shelf life makes them a low-pressure gift.
