Our first batch of brined olives haved cured, it took a long time. Now I am marinading them with oregano, blanched carrots, raw garlic and olive oil. I need to get some vinegar for the next batch. These are among the first olives harvested, I picked the last batch yesterday and am brining them. We ended up with 33.5 liters / 9 gallons of oil. And 4 gallons of brined olives.
The trees hadn't been pruned for a very long time so that slowed the process and increased the workload, now we need to dispose of the pruned branches, they normally burn here but Mrs. Biggie does not like that option and wants to mulch, that would take a month of hard labor...
