Cheddar went in the Brine

Uggh!
I was in a rush and totally spaced that cheddar should not be brined.
What will I end up with? Edible?

How long in the brine, etc. etc.?

Did you salt it AND brine it or just brine it? Everything is edible.

[steffb503]

LOL,
Salted and brined!

[Sailor Con Queso]

I would rinse off the brine with warm tap water, age it, and eat it. I'm sure that it will be fine. If it turns out to be a little salty after aging, you can always use it as an ingredient cheese instead of a cracker cheese.

It's comforting knowing other folks screw up too, thanks for sharing   I'm sure it will make a fine cheese sauce or macaroni ..... Just remember to skip the salt in the rest of the recipe !

Thanks folks.
I will let you all know in a few months!
