GREEK-STYLE RIPE OLIVES RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. For this recipe, choose olives that are red to dark red.
• Slash each olive deeply on one side using a very sharp knife to reduce bruising. Place olives in a large stoneware, earthenware, glass, or porcelain container.
• Make a solution of 4 tablespoons salt dissolved in 1-quart water, and pour enough over the olives to cover.
• Weight the olives with a piece of wood or a plastic bag filled with water so that they are completely submerged. Store in a cool place, changing the solution once a week for three weeks.
• If a scum forms on the surface during that time, disregard it until it is time to change the brine; then rinse the olives with fresh water before covering with brine again. The scum is harmless.
• At the end of three weeks, taste one of the largest olives. If it is slightly bitter and a bit tangy, they are done. Pour off the brine and rinse the olives. If the olives are still too bitter, brine again, soaking for another week; then rinse and marinate.
• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine white wine vinegar , salted water, oregano, lemon wedges, and garlic in a container large enough to hold the olives.
• Add the cured olives and stir to coat in the mixture.
• Add enough​ olive oil to form a 1/4-inch layer on top of the marinating olives (this will act as a seal and barrier). The olives will be ready to eat after sitting in the marinade for just a few days.
• For long-term storage, leave the olives in the marinade and place in a cool pantry or refrigerate, covered. If kept too long, the lemon and vinegar flavors will dominate so eat these within a month after they are ready.
