The spicy seasoned salt mash-up that Lawry's and Tabasco created several years ago garnered a cult following. Unfortunately the number of fanatics that celebrated the delicious salty, sour, and spicy blend was too small to satisfy the manufacturer, and today this tasty blend has joined my growing list of Dead Foods. The good news is - after much tinkering in the Top Secret Lab - I've discovered a technique for a home version, and the process is a simple one. We can duplicate the sourness that comes from vinegar powder in the real thing by adding Tabasco pepper sauce, which contains vinegar, to a handful of dry ingredients and then letting the blend dry overnight. The hardened chunks are then ground with a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder, producing a fine blend that can be poured into a spice shaker and sprinkled on anything from French fries to eggs. Its back!

Followed recipe to exactly. The ingredients never dried. After a few days I put it in the food dehydrator and after many hours it seemed to be dry. I removed it from the dehydrator and after a little while the dry pieces would return to their pervious sticky, pliable, not hard state. I put them back in the dehydrator, and then ground them immediately after they hardened and while still warm. Now the 'salt' clumps as if damp and I have to bang the bottle to break the final up enough to be able to shake it out of the bottle. Alot of hassle for such a small amount. It does taste good though.
