The art of making Sea Salt

We have our first batch of sea salt ready.  We were amazed at how much it made.  It took about 4 hours to boil down two jugs.  It's a simple task, you walk into the ocean - far enough from the shoreline to ensure that you are not picking up sand from the waves.  Then you strain the water through cheese cloth - they recommend 4 layers, but we did about 6 just to be safe.  Put the pan on boils until it resembles a thick slush.  You then let it simmer until it's dry and voila - Sea Salt is made.



We went back to the ocean and retrieved two more jugs of water and are now in the process of making our second batch.  It is so easy to do.
