Salt Substitute

Tea Jenny's Note:

I have been trying to cut down on salt and have found this recipe to substitute it in cooking. I really use far too much salt so this sounds like a good sub. I've not made it yet but I will be making it in the next few days as I am missing salt. You can add a tablespoon of black pepper to make it into citrus pepper for meat. You could also use a lemon or an orange. cooking time is the overnight drying time. You can get citric acid crystals in your health food store. Update I have made this now and it is good the dried grapefruit peel has an amazing flavour and aroma much better than lemon. I hope you like it.
