An olive experiment

May 7, 2022

We picked olives at a friend’s place a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been rinsing them daily since. Yesterday I made up the brine with Himalayan pink salt (only uniodised sort I could find), bay leaves, rosemary, cardamon seeds and a bit of orange rind. I got six jars packed and topped them up with olive oil.

In six weeks time we can sample them. I felt so positive that I bought two olive trees.

The first orchid is flowering.
