How to preserve olives - lebanese recipe - زيتون مخلل على الطريقة اللبنانية

[@donaldwright1549]

This is my second year of preparing olives using your recipe, and everyone who has tried them says how great they are . A great video. I have, by the way, tried olives which other people have prepared, and have asked them if they were trying to poison me! Fantastic recipe!

[@SmileyGirl230]

Oh 💕 I’m very happy to hear that you like the recipe thank so so much for you great comment and god bless you 🙏

[@shus904]

Thank you for sharing, I have tried other people's recipes, but my family and I love your recipe is delicious, this is the second year I use your recipe, the first time I waited almost a year before I could eat it , this year I soaked the olives for a week before making them, hope it works!

thanks so much for the recipe. I tried it with my harvest of olives in May (I live in the southern hemisphere and have only one olive tree). Six months later they are the best olives I have ever eaten and small jars of olives are a great present for friends! Thank you :)

[@cristinapatrizia3281]

Thank you for the recipe, this is exactly the way my Grandmother cured olives-only she used lemon juice. I just couldn't remember the ingredients. I did buy Citric Acid and will use that in place of the lemon juice. My Grandparents had an Olive Grove on their farm in Sicily and would make Olive Oil with the majority of their crop, but my Grandmother always held back some in order to cure them. I have her old Olive Masher and it must be at least 100 years old.

[@sumerasadiq4225]

Last year i tried your way of curing olives at home,it took almost 6 months to get ready to eat...but after 9 months the taste turned out to be amazing..thank you for the recipe. I am going to cure another batch today.

[@WONDERring]

I never realized how easy it is to cure olives. I have a huge tree in my yard in California and just let the olives fall on the ground. Sometimes the dog eats them. But I'm going to try this. Thank you for sharing.

[@dhuniya108]

Hi there may I ask how to eat the olives after they are ready to come out of the jar please? Do I rinse the olives? Add oil or how to season it please? We've left the olives for almost 6 weeks now and some still taste slightly bitter, but some have very slight fermented taste, I wonder if we've done something wrong.. :-(

[@jfreeman2047]

@@dhuniya108 They sound fine. Eat them straight out of the jar or rinse (your choice) To reduce the bitterness (next time) soak the cracked olives in water for 7 days, changing the water each day. This will extract /dilute the Oleuropein (bitter taste). Once washed daily for seven days then add to the brine solution and store for a minimum of 4 weeks. Taste is very much country/ region-specific. What tastes good to you may taste horrible to others. It takes a few seasons of playing with curing to find what you like.

[@ruel1087]

I saw this kind of preparation in one of the house where I stayed in the village of Jordan. It's really delicious to taste the homemade pickled olives.

A great recipe indeed and the way u explained each and every step is really awesome. A little suggestion that instead of beating/pressing the olives with a masher, if a circular cut on olives be made so that would be great. Thanks

some of my olives are small and float up to the top and sit in the olive oil layer, should i weight them down under the liquid?

[@SmileyGirl230]

Yes otherwise the olive will get rotten on top but doesn’t make any poisons for the body take the rotten top part and throw it . Sorry for the delay I was abroad .

But the next day when i opebed the jar,there was white thing on the top which was not fungus and it did not change the taste of olives. Plz tell me how to take olives out of the jar in a way that white things does not appear on the top

[@Rukhsana2056]

Wouldn’t it be better to use a glass jar than plastic, to avoid mixing any toxins released from plastic into the preserve?

Looks wonderful! Thank you for sharing. Is it absolutely necessary to smash all the olives? Will this method work well if we leave the olives whole and do not smash them?

Could you please inform if they taste good ni bitter ? As you added salt and the other ingredients without keeping the olives in a water for 10 days?

[@idledreameress]

The bitterbess still goes away but it takes a long time. Like 8 to 12 months. The wait is hard but it is even harder to not eat them all quickly once they are ready.

[@zainabkhomusi1705]

I have preserved olives using this method after about 2 months a white orange yellow gray layer appeared on top with a peculiar different smell coming out of the jar when opened,, I washed all the olives and have spread them on a tray in the sun hoping the smell will go away , they taste alright though , I want to ask if these can be consumed if yes then plz tell how to keep them preserved from this point on

[@zainabkhomusi1705]

I had prepared an other jar as well that one tasted really good but I gave them away to a friend and now the ones left with me ,,, I can't understand what to do

[@zainabkhomusi1705]

Plz do reply

[@SmileyGirl230]

Consider the appearance. If the olives are in brine and there’s a layer of white mold at the top, Mezzetta says it’s fine to remove it and continue eating. But if they smell and taste bad that means the olives not safe to be eating . But after you washed them if the smell goes away it’s okay just add on them salt , bit of lemon juice and oil do not add any water make sure all the olive on top are covered to avoid any rotten I hope that help all the best .

[@peachgypsy556]

Awesome video, but I have a question....after the 1 month-6 weeks, do I keep them in the same water, or do I need to change the water?

[@daisycecilia2635]

Hi! Why some people put them in salty water first (brine) for many days? Is this another method to cure olives?

[@SmileyGirl230]

Daisy Cecilia Green or black olives, can be cured in water, which removes the bitter taste. They will have a fresh, nutty flavor and firm texture. After a week or so of water curing, they are stored in a pickling brine, which adds a salty flavor. There is no different way to preserve olives , this is the best way .

[@rubglez]

Can I use half gallon jars

[@SmileyGirl230]

rubglez Yes sure u can use it .

[@bintlooda]

Can I skip the citric acid ? And just use salt ?

[@SmileyGirl230]

Yes sure

[@chawquee]

you need the acid so use lemon juice or vinaigar otherwise it will be bitter

[@hicentered]

If you don't use citric acid up the lemons by at least 5 times or more. Ancients used vinegar. The acid and the salt protects against botulism. Important!

Followed receipe, but after 4 weeks, top of jar was covered with mold, would they be safe to eat? if not what did I do wrong?

[@אור.א-י7ה]

Next time put more salt, a teaspoon of salt for every glass of water. Also add oregano leaves and garlic, and more olive oil on top. O and make sure that the jar is very clean, clean it with hot water. All of these should help prevent mold.

[@SmileyGirl230]

Donna Pereira yes it’s safe to eat don’t worry just take of the top and make sure all of the olives are covered with water .
