Struck me as slightly bonkers that I am going to the shop to buy sea salt when I am surrounded by the sea which contains ... salt ... so I made some!
It was surprisingly easy. Took a large container with me one day when I went swimming and filled it up with water. Let it sit for a few days for the sediment to settle (there really wasn't very much sediment at all) and then siphoned it into my preserving pan and put it on a low heat to steam away. When I was down to the last half inch of water I tipped it out into a tray to let the last of the water evaporate -- and presto -- magic -- salt! 7 litres of water made about 300 grams of salt. Things I never need to spend money on again! :)
