Saltus Ruber

A crimson salt for the hearth fires of winter kitchens.
Juniper and dark berries evoke the scent of damp forests and game hung in cold smokehouses. Tart hibiscus sharpens the salt like moonlight through pine branches.

Historical use
Juniper berries have been used since antiquity to season and preserve meats, especially wild game in northern Europe. Roman authors described juniper as a spice substitute and flavoring for meats, while medieval kitchens used it in preserved and salted game dishes.
