Recipe Notes

I suggest you place the finished product into small jars.
The product in a smaller jar means we can have it handy to use +
store with less air in each jar.. 

** We can use most herbs for this sort of preparation.
We can add colourful dried edible flowers of all kinds, as well as aromatic
seeds such as fennel or coriander etc.
