I love olives. I really like green olives. When I was young, I only liked black olives; but after studying abroad in Israel, I really like green.
Here at grandpa's house and there are three big olive trees. I knew Weston would really enjoy the process of making olives. So we did it.
I found an easy recipe that contained no lye. Click here if you're interested.
First we picked. Then we washed and smashed them with a marble rolling pin. Now they are soaking in water. The water releases the tannin that makes the olives bitter. I have rinse and recover olives for one- four weeks until they are not bitter.
Then I'll make a brine with cider vinegar, garlic, lemon and rosemary. I'll cover them in the brine and put them in the fridge- ready to eat.
It was fun so far (and a bit of work.) I hope they turn out!
