How to Cure and Preserve Your Own Olives

[@charliesalema]

Im from portugual we have loads of of olives part of our food as a starter, let me give u some tips Dont use tap water, use bottle water. The clorine in the tap water makes the olives soft Wash ur olives well before anything, u can even leave them for a week in cold water before u cure them with water and salt in a jar but change the water at least once a day, that helps take the bitter taste that the olive skin contains. To know the right amount of sea salt to add to the water get a fresh egg and once u have put a certain amount of salt the egg will rise to the surfice and float, u dont want the egg folating totaly on the surfice of the water have 1cm space. Add some lemon, garlic and i dont know how to say it in english but we put folha de louro. U should also add a bit of white apple vinger to the salty water helps cure the olives faster wich can take from 4 to 6 months dependes on how u lile the taste the longer they stay in water the less bitter they will be. Tjeres mpre tips but i tired of typing

[@memowilliam9889]

Folha de louro is probably bay leaves aka laurel.

[@AtHomeInTurkey]

Thanks for these tips - we live on the southcoast of Turkey and after a disastrous year with preserving our olives we found out that tap water is bad news for processing olives. Now there are no more disasters.

[@Davedrifter]

Thats bay leaves, alright

[@AdventuresWithCel]

charliesalema hello do you have to cure the olives before marinating them?We got plenty of olives in our yard but never done this before

[@andradragan8978]

Do you need to crack the olives before ? To split them open?

[@bikinggal1]

I have fresh olives available so came looking for a way to make them! Thank you! As other have mentioned...dont use tap water!! You are organic so why use the tap water!! I have a berkey filter system I will use! Thanks for the tips and all those people commenting on how to make proper olives!!

[@YY-jv4uu]

Hi where did you get that pot and the weighs from? My nonna uses plastic buckets on top of other plastic buckets filled with water to hold them down I think those weighs would come in handy

[@justoldog]

ill try this! thanx!

[@dianneknisely7397]

I want to pit my olives do I do it before putting them in the brine

[@shirasezan]

hello lovely to know all that but if i crash the olives do i loose some of the oil that is in them ?

[@TJR32100]

Where can one purchase fresh olives for curing ? Please advice.

[@andreapatane4204]

Tastiest fruit ever!

[@loulouinfinity]

I will be trying this method today, just wandering, when I jar them up, will I use the same 1 1/2 salt to 1 gallon water brine to fill the jars? and how long would they last in jars?

[@GrowOrganicProducts]

Yes, when jarring, we put the olives in a brine. 2 cups vinegar and 1 lb salt per gallon of water. They should keep like that in refrigerator for quite a while. When you want to serve, rinse the olives and add whatever flavoring (olive oil, herbs, lemon etc)

[@JoseSanchez-bp7xz]

lisa robinson I don’t know, but you do that.

[@oldrockmustard]

It does not seem so hard, great idea!

[@XSilverful]

This technique looks so easy! I've been wanting to grow olives for their medicinal properties but sadly, it's too cold here in Indiana. :( Do you know if there is any variety of olive that can grow in this region or a green house friendly type?

[@JoseSanchez-bp7xz]

XSilverful No, but they cause smelly farts.

[@frederickpuriri1761]

Thank you now I know how to give it a go 👍🏽

[@fjbutch]

Cool, I eat roughly a small punnet of cured olives every day, lovem' so this may save me a few pennies...cheers...

[@babariqbal5560]

Nice

[@CharlesHess]

I make sauerkraut, but what a complicated treatment for olives! Many years ago I had an olive tree and the space to do this, but no more.

[@JeannetteValenc1a]

Thanks for the tips

[@georginaceri]

Hi! What is the ratio of olives to water, during curing?

[@danielc9441]

Equal parts by weight plus 11.36% water

[@jacknjanesshowtell9499]

Great tips.

[@cheerry777]

Yummy.. We discovered an olive tree filled with fruit in the backyard of this old fixer we just bought. We'll this technique!

[@nevertoopoortotour.3033]

Great video thanks

[@georginaceri]

Hey Tricia! I have a tall glass jar where I placed a kilogram of olives, 1st brine with the method you show. I cover the jar with cling film. When I will put the 2nd brine, how should I close the jar? If it is sealed with cling film will the olives not be cured? Btw, it's my first time curing olives. Thanks for your video!

[@georginaceri]

Thanks for the guidance! I will keep an eye to my olives. I've seen the crockpot you sell. You mentioned it is made in Europe. It's funny, I live in Greece and I've never seen these around. Amateurs I know of use plastic barrels, here, for fermentation and storage... :( I avoid plastic, and I already had this giant glass jar available, so my first experience will be "Transparent".

[@Maelani_mymelode]

Awesome video ❤️

[@Anna-Leigh77]

Some of my olives have small bruises on them I got rid of the bad ones but was wondering if this is a problem

[@peijedelplo7635]

can this be done without the crock device? there are some olives in the park I have concidered putting in brine. scale wise I was going to just try a couple of baby food jars?!

[@peijedelplo7635]

@@groworganic how does gas escape from the crock used?

[@NoviProleterijat]

@@groworganic I'm sorry but how does that make any sense?

[@LelynnsSquirrels]

@@NoviProleterijat it's "SCIENCE!" ✋😉🤚

[@LelynnsSquirrels]

@@groworganic i wonder if using a bottle, with a balloon on top, would pull the gasses out... 🤔

[@ThePolishman87]

Just seems easier to go to the store on this one

[@wombat170170]

G'day would like to know where you got you crock its great

[@1too3fore]

Try ebay...

[@tresjolieme81]

Ty u to much work for my lifestyle guess I'll buy them lol

[@shaolinsnake9650]

scarred olives are totally okay wdym

[@haroldkinnionkinnion3305]

Planted 2 trees all ready have olives

[@annj769]

That's funny. I bought an olive tree a couple of feet tall and had to wait years for the fruit.

[@ab7988]

In the last month after 5 curing months refresh the salty water and add 1 chicken or beef bouillon cube (or make two different cans with different taste) . It will give a nice aftertaste to the olives.

[@scicopathic1332]

I'll just go buy them at the store to much work

[@LelynnsSquirrels]

no wonder olives cost so much

[@paulhughes5577]

The UN might argue that farming performed by humans creates green house gasses. But you know they just want to corner the market and make it hightech robotic farming with monopolistic start up costs. And you sell to buyers instead of the public. It will make minimum wage look like a fortune. Or just the opposite if you sell to the public instead of the buyers. I know your thinking like: This is just for me so it doesn't matter.. Yet 99% of people deciding other, does matter to you. Or your life is just like installing a clean window to a house made of dung. Only 1% of people are moved by the right thing. If you want the rest of the world clean: you gotta deal.

[@aldoferetti2447]

She reads a book and is now an expert on sustainability and organic culture....when will it stop?

[@ovenbird50]

Don't tell me an organic gardener used hot tap water for food prep! Hot water has much higher lead levels than cold water. I would have drawn cold water and heated it on the stove until the salt dissolved.

[@peijedelplo7635]

maybe it was well water?

[@MaximRecoil]

"Hot water has much higher lead levels than cold water." That's only true if you have water pipes that were soldered with lead-based solder.

[@LelynnsSquirrels]

maybe she has a filter

[@vithakatsa5451]

Who cares we all die anyway just send it

[@cherylskiles8524]

Or maybe she has had her water tested. . . Or she has non-led pipes. You can't make a blanket statement if you don't know all the details. Relax
