...savory first, sweets second but never the two shall meet!...
I would disagree, as leaving salt out of any recipe for anything sweet, leaves them bland.
Also, at the least use Kosher salt and toss your table salt away. | |

Posted: 1/4/2012 12:41:17 PM | | Well Mr. Ari? Different strokes for different folks...and pun intended with the strokes/salt issue! lol...Off topic I know but is kosher salt the same as sea salt? Dumb question perhaps but? And salt in a recipe for sweet? Can't fathom that one as have never tried it | |

Basically it is the grain / crystal size.
Table salt is ground very fine, where Kosher is less fine and thus you will have a brighter taste and use less (net weight) of salt.
Like any food, there are 100's if not 1000's of varieties.
I recommend you try as many as you can as they are all somewhat different. | |

Posted: 1/4/2012 2:08:48 PM | moonie...salt is one of those kinds of additives that you dont taste when its added to a sweet dish...but leave it out and you will...i made butter tarts once...and forgot to add salt...it tasted bland...and if you leave it out of bread that you make...might as well feed the squirrels...
wanna try an interesting combo ?...take a piece of reggiano and dip it in a bit of honey...hooo ha | |

Posted: 1/4/2012 3:20:00 PM | ..Ya might think I'm crazy...but I love dipping Colby cheese in maple syrup..LOL
..Also, on the salty/sweet issue...If I could name one thing that is almost impossible to quit eating it until it's gone or you founder yourself, it would be chocolate and potato chips...LOL. (Hint: Brownies work the same way..LOL)
..And on the Kosher salt issue...Is it iodized like regular table salt? As far as I know, Sea Salt isn't. | |

Posted: 1/4/2012 3:56:36 PM | | ..Any mention of adding a bit of caraway seed in that saurkraut? Might make it a bit more "German". And I'm not too sure the amount of salt is super critical...yes you can probably overdo it...but the one time I watched an old fella making saurkraut (and I was probably 8-10 years old at the time) he would just toss a few big handfulls of cabbage in..grab a handful of salt and toss it in..and repeat. No measuring for him...unless it was from the bottle of brown pain killing liquid he always seemed to have close by.. ;)...LOL | |
