Last night my very sweet husband helped me put up my first batch of olives. I'm trying the water brining method, which will take a few weeks, and then in Nov. will order some black olives and try the salt brining method, which takes 9 months, but creates a fermented food. Once the olives soak in the water for about 2 weeks, then I have some large glass jars that I will use to do the finishing salt brine with whatever seasoning we choose. Very curious to see how these come out...if they are good, I think a new fall tradition has started.
