1. Gather your ingredients and pour the entire bottle of wine into a stainless steel pan. You can use homemade wine like I did or use store bought. The important thing is to choose a wine that tastes good.

2. Bring the wine to a boil and then turn the heat down to simmer and let the wine cook down.

3. Stir the wine from time to time to make sure it is not burning. When it looks like thick maple syrup or honey, remove the pan from the heat.

4. Rotate the pan so the wine syrup is spread out on the bottom of the pan.

5. Pour the salt on top of the wine syrup and stir it well so the salt absorbs all the wine syrup.

6. Spread the wine salt on a dehydrator tray or cookie sheet in a single layer. Do not pile the salt up.

7. Turn the dehydrator or oven to the lowest possible setting and dry the wine salt.

8. Once the salt is dry, place it in a glass jar. I use a wide mouth pint size canning jar with a plastic screw on lid.

9. Store the container of wine salt in a cool, dark, dry location.
