Our saltwater recipe gets raving reviews by our guests every year! Here it is:
1 tablespoon Himalayan salt or Celtic salt
1 cup ozonated oxygenated distilled reverse osmosis water, at room temp (80 degrees). Get a good thermometer because precise temp is key.
Put both in glass jar.
Cover with tight lid.
Shake it up.
Remove lid.
Dip your karpas when it's time to do so.
As simple as that!

I'm looking for our ice cube recipe. I'll post it when I find it. Hope the kids didn't put the paper in the trash. I know, I should get a recipe organizer so I don't lose my recipes.

My salt water never comes out right Sad

It's either too salty or too watery. Luckily my local takeout place sells it, and my shalom bayis has been restored.

I can't thank you all enough! As many versions as possible. I'm hoping to replace the family heirloom recipe

Reminder to make your salt water recipe before Shabbos. Give yourself enough time to prepare it!!!
This must be so hard for you emotionally, to lose such a complicated recipe.
Hope you all have a wonderful and relaxed Yomtov!!!

Put on some sunglasses a baseball cap and a hoodie and very quickly run into Gourmet Glatt (or whichever gourmet kosher grocery you have nearby). They have AAmaayyzing salt water on sale - for the amazing price of $4.50 an ounce.
Pay quickly, dash home and pour into your saltwater dishes.
No one will be the wiser!

My mil swears by their saltwater! Though we prefer our own home made recipe as we can definitely taste the difference bet the two!

DO NOT PANIC!

Take a deep breath. I have a recipe for you. Also dor l'dor.

Clean the surface of a large area.
Then, find a container or ball jar, that holds exactly 24 ounces of liquid. Fill it with 19 ounces of flat, bottled or table water. No bubbles. Make sure it doesn't contain sodium.

Then add sodium. About 3 level Tablespoons of Himalayan Sea Salt.

Shake well AFTER you place the cover on it.

Then add water, according to how watered down you like your salt water.

Let it sit for 4 to 6 hours so the salt melts.

SHORTCUT!

Heat water. Add salt.

Happy Pesach!

At this point I recommend to just buy it. Save yourself some stress. It's well worth it. Your family will enjoy it alot.

JF, hope you've calmed down.
Here's one recipe you can try for ice cubes:
(they are actually beautiful if done right. No joke)

Buy distilled water. Boil it up.
Fill the trays. Freeze.
You're ice cubes will be clearer than your windows. True fact. Water that doesn't have gases and is pure, and is then boiled to remove additional impurities makes gorgeous cubes. Or any shape, actually...

Good luck!

I think according to Rabbi Blumenkrant's book all unflavored salt water is kosher lpesach.

Try oil or shmaltz, though they won't freeze crystal clear.

Jewish foodie when you get the ice cube recipe, wait until it’s partially frozen, then let it defrost and add a few pinches of salt and a couple of dashes of freshly ground pink Himalayan salt. No one will believe you made it yourself, it’s that good.
