Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

ingredients
2 parts coarse sea salt
1 part Epsom salts
2% peppermint oil
several drops blue liquid color
directions
Measure out the sea salt and Epsom salts into the tub or large wide-necked bottle or jar and mix together thoroughly.
Calculating the total weight of the mixture, measure out 2% in weight of peppermint essential oil into a suitable small glass jar or bottle (It is worth remembering that the volume and weight of Epsom salts and coarse sea salt correspond quite closely, so 200g of the mixture will also fill nearly exactly 200ml in volume. So for every 100g of mixture, use 2ml of essential oils or fragrance).
Next, add the peppermint oil to the mixture, close the lid and shake well. If there is not much excess space inside the vessel you can remove the lid and stir the mixture thoroughly before replacing the lid once more.
Leave the mixture to stand for at least a day for the fragrance to thoroughly permeate the salts.
Using a funnel or similar utensil, you can now decant a little at a time into a suitable bottle or scoop into a jar for using as you please.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
