If you boil some potatoes in it, they attract the salt. You could use the potatoes for something else afterwards.0

Hmm, I'm not sure on that one, maybe a little sugar and some chili powder and a little lemon juice? If it goes wrong I take no responsibility!
Or make double the quantity and freeze half?
Just did a quick search and they suggest putting in some raw potato slices which should absorb some of the salt but it has to be simmering, apparently**Thanks to everyone on here for hints, tips and advice!**:D
