It's basically just chilis and coarse salt blended together, then dried (if you are in a hurry you can use your oven for that). I mainly use it for sauces (tomato, bolognese, etc.) or anything else that needs salt with a kick!
I've seen the jar recipes around and I do think they might get costly (I usually get stumped on the cost of nice mason jars around here). Also, I think they look really nice with all the layers, but I'm pretty sure it will just look like mud once it's carried around for more than 5 min.
@Billi:
Any chance you'd post your recipe for the fudge? *prettyplease*
I like the idea of the mixed seasoning, I might do that (it's also something you can do quite a few weeks in advance, that's always helpful!
).
I made two different infused oils (one chili oil, the other herbs) three, four years ago. They were a hit!
