Tips:
- Choose firm, ripe olives for pickling. Overripe or bruised olives will not hold their shape well in the brine.
- Use a variety of spices to flavor the olives. Common spices used for pickling olives include garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
- Experiment with different types of vinegar for the brine. White vinegar is a common choice, but you can also use red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, or apple cider vinegar.
- Let the olives pickle for at least a week before eating them. The longer the olives pickle, the more flavorful they will be.
- Store the olives in a cool, dark place. They will keep for several months in a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
