Did you put a weight in each jar or just fill to the top with brine and then shake the jar every few days?Tanya Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867118885094628168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043083310487431217.post-10063816952709326842010-05-22T07:01:57.344+01:002010-05-22T07:01:57.344+01:00Hi Lois

The kids make themselves a snack around 10 of olives and cheese...we eat them in salads each night...I put them on pizzas...make tapenades...into omlettes...into frittatas..you get the idea :-)<br /><br />The best way to find suppliers of raw olives is at the market. I found my contact at a nautral living market a while back.Urban Homestead South Africahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744814544809179491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043083310487431217.post-55406998853967204052010-05-22T02:15:38.426+01:002010-05-22T02:15:38.426+01:00I am growing a couple of olive trees, they are ver...I am growing a couple of olive trees, they are very small at present so will have to wait years yet..sigh<br />I would love to be able to buy 20kgs of olives in bulk..so I am now searching the webb for supplier in Australia.Aussiemadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08251675504716908569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043083310487431217.post-55660738223314597402010-05-21T19:14:16.783+01:002010-05-21T19:14:16.783+01:00It's so very interesting how this is done.
...It's so very interesting how this is done. <br /><br />After they are all "cured," how many jars per year do you use yourself? Just wondering because we love olives in our family, but I can't image using that many olives in several years.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this process. <br /><br />LoisLois Evensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129343619065721588noreply@blogger.com
