AT LAST...



... Something is ready to come off the production line. I have flavoured my olives with:


juice and grated rind of 1 orange

some lemon slices

slices of garlic

sprigs of fresh thyme

sprigs of dried oregano

a dried chilli pepper

pink peppercorns

coriander and fennel seeds

a bay leaf

olive oil





Sicilians like to put some thinly sliced carrot in the jar but I don't think this adds anything to the taste.





Now to start the next batch...

  3. Hi, Sally. I'm going to let them absorb the flavours for a few days before I break into the jar! Don't go giving the Ital gov ideas, Gleds!!

  6. Sounds like some good additions there but I don't like olives. Too bad.
