Applications
Fresh olives must be cured before eating. Olives may be cured in a salt brine, in a lye solution, or in water depending on desired result and length of time available. Water- cured olives: rinse the olives and crack with hammer or cut a slit with a small knife, place in a jar, cover with water and store in a cool, dark place for 10 days. Then make a salt water brine, drain the olives, pour over the brine, add lemon, garlic, vinegar and oregano and store for an additional two weeks.
