Mix with food preserving salt in the ratio of 2:1 by weight; chives:salt Store in jars in a dark cool place. Use in soups, stews, etc. *** Can use kosher salt if processing salt is not available. 1

When adding this to a cook will you still need to add salt? How long will this keep?
MacKenzie Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Posted March 29, 2015 No, you would want to watch how much salt you add as this is quite salty. I think it will keep for at least a year, I've had mine since last summer and it looks as fresh now as it did in the beginging
