Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup fresh dried, or frozen (thawed) spruce tips, minced or chopped in a spice grinder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar or kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix tips and sugar or salt thoroughly in a small bowl. Decant into a glass jar and store in a cool, dark cupboard. Will keep indefinitely. Note that when made with fresh or frozen (thawed) spruce tips, the mixture tends to clump—simply break up with a fork before using.

Notes

Note: This recipe is for either spruce tip sugar or spruce tip salt, because the proportions and the method are the same.
Use sugar in spruce tip shortbreads; add salt to rubs for grilled meat or fish.
