How you go about brining these bad boys their green olives
 
Not positive but I was just on an olive growers forum and they were asking about exhaust valve timing for inline 4's.

:twofinger :laughing


10:1 water to salt, ensure olives are submerged, wait 3 to 4 weeks.
There's other methods that are quicker but I was tired of scrolling through people's backstories about family gatherings on Italian farms in the old days to get to the actual olive brine recipe on Google so you do it. :laughing
 
I used to do a lye cure and then can the olives in brine. Works great.
 
Can you just eat them off the tree? There's lots around where I am. They are dark ones.

All I know about Olives, the green ones, is they go good with straight gin.
 
Doesn't Oobus grow olives? Maybe he knows. All I know about them is they are super delicious :) And the trees are really messy.

I think I’ll do this one.
At the minute I’m doing a clean water brine ,you leave the olives just in water for a week have to change the water twice a day.after the week you brine them in salt water.
I don’t like olives myself but I started making fancy Irish breads I’m doing one with olive ginger and rosemary lol
The other loaf is chocolate M&Ms and bacon
I’ve been laying a
Lot of bread and sausages lately

Yea, as I understand it, raw olives are really awful. They must of had a gazillion of them for someone to think "oh we need to soak these for 100 days to make them edible" kind of thing.
 
It is permissible to rinse the olives in Vermouth though.

And I don't have the right type of glass... I don't even know what type of glass that is, maybe a 3oz shot glass? It holds 6 olives...
