Place over medium heat, and warm through, about 10 minutes. Transfer this mixture to a container, and let cool 5 minutes, uncovered, then cover with an airtight lid. Let salt stand at least overnight. When you're ready to decant the salt into gift containers, discard the rosemary. This recipe yields about 8 cups of infused salt, which can be used in place of unseasoned salt in savory recipes and is especially nice with potatoes and chicken.
Homemade chutney can also make a charming and thoughtful favor.
Keep the favors refrigerated until they are distributed. My best friend is getting married in the south of France. Because her guests will have the expense of traveling and staying there, she doesn't want a shower. Anytime a friend requests that no shower be thrown in her honor, it is usually, if not always, best torespect her wishes and not have one. There's no reason that you and two or three like-minded friends couldn't take the bride out for a showerlike lunch.
