Ginger Garlic Rock Salt Rub

Bev B. (originally from C Elfalan)

1 large(Costco sized) bag of rock salt

1 bag red alae salt (you can find it at Safeway)

fresh ginger root, coarsely grated (add to taste)

fresh garlic, coarsely grated (to taste)

1 bottle coarse black pepper (4-6 oz depending on how spicy you want it)

Combine ingredients well... spread on large baking sheet.  Bake at 250 degrees for at least 2 hours until mixture turns a light brown.  mix/stir every 15-20 minutes; so it evenly roasts.  Place in airtight container and use on poultry, pork, steaks, etc.  (**be cautious of getting the steam in your face, as the spices can give you and unwanted 'spice facial')
