Steps:
- Slit the olives down one side.
- Cover with cold water and leave to soak for 17 days to eliminate bitterness.
- Change the water every day, then soak in salt water for 3 days, stirring occasionally.
- You make the salt water by mixing the salt with enough water so an egg will float in the brine solution.
- Drain, then soak for 3 days in 1 part vinegar and 2 parts water, making sure the olives are covered at all times.
- Drain and add the garlic, pickling spice, chillies and thyme.
- Pack in sterile jars and pour on olive oil to cover.
- Seal and leave for at least 4 weeks.
- The oil will take on an olive taste and can be used in salads.
