Podcast 4 – BONUS MATERIAL: Salt! After a trip to the coast, I have begun to extract my own sea salt. This is the rough procedure. Step 1Fill and haul containers of seawater up from seashore. No photos here- just imagine my bulging muscles and wellies filled with water. Step 2Filter to remove sediments. Click here for the exciting demonstrative video. Step 3Boil hard till volume reduced to about a third of the original volume. I tested out the process with 3 litres of seawater. Just starting (3 litres) Step 4Continue to reduce the volume with care and a gentle heat. The salt will begin to precipitate out of the solution. Take care not to scorch it! Click here for another riveting video. Continue until there is hardly any water left (stirring continuously by the end). A couple of hours later Step 5Transfer into a heatproof dish, then finish drying on a sunny windowsill, or a low temperature oven, or on top of your pan of bark solution you happen to have going most of the time. Trying to not use the whole UK gas reserves. Future operations will be on a wood fire Step 6Enjoy your home-made salt! Very pleased From the 3 litres, I obtained 85g (about half a jam jar of salt). This has been tested and confirmed as ‘very salty’. I am extremely thankful for this resource. It will not only help with preservation of foods and provide essential minerals, but will also make the whole year much more palatable!
