Hand harvested salt caramels

Living on the Sonoma coast, 

  breathing in the crisp coastal air,

creating coast salted confections.

I recently started hand harvesting pacific ocean salt water from Russian Gulch beach, to make salt. 

My view of Russian Gulch beach! (900ft up)

The process is actually really quite easy. I have been amazed at how most people have 'no clue' that salt comes from the ocean. It is called Sea Salt for a reason, ha ha ha.

 step 1. Boil water

Collected water evaporating

Step 2. Once boiled down to crystal form, lay out to dry in coastal sunshine

The sun up here is so bright! Takes about 2 hours to dry.

And that's it! The flavor of fresh made sea salt is unbeatable. The perfect ingredient to top my vanilla bean caramels!!
