Preparation Stir the chile sauce and the salt together thoroughly. Spread it out into a thin layer on a dry baking sheet and set in the sun for 1 to 2 days, until dry. Alternatively, you can dry it in a dehydrator, or in an oven set at 100°F overnight, until dry. When completely dry, break up any clumps with your fingers or a spoon, and transfer it to a container with a tight-fitting lid. Variation You can use any chile or hot sauce you like for this recipe. My favorite is Green Tabasco! ![Salt] (https://vulcan.condenastdigital.com/epi/photos/57f6800555b91353353be334/master/w_116/SALT_Cover-100616.jpg) From Salt: The Essential Guide to Cooking with the Most Important Ingredient in Your Kitchen © 2016 by Leslie Bilderback.
