Home made ice cream - what do you do with the left over salt solution?

I hate to throw out that much salt and really I'm not sure where to put it. We're on a septic system, so if I dump it there I'll be adding salt to our leach field which is not something I want to do. Anyone ever have any luck say, in letting the salt dry out in the sun?

I used to pour mine out in my alley where the weeds and poison ivy grew. Then I got one of those ice cream freezers where you freeze the tub and don't have to use ice. so much easier.

I haven't used that sort of ice cream freezer in a while, but in our case, we have some rocks bordering iur house that has no vegatation so that is where I would dump it. If I had a driveway without a slope (ours is sloped) I'd dump it there and sweep up the salt after it dried. If here was a gravel road nearby, I'd dump it there. Frankly, our house borders a 3,000 acre county park. The part adjacent to our home is mostly weeds (some flowering prairie grasses) so I would walk a few feet into the weeds and dump it.
