It's whole foods Friday and I thought I would feature a brand new project I am in the process of tackling. We love olives in our home, but don't get to eat them very much as the organic ones are quite expensive and I don't like the fact that many of them are cured with lye.
So, I decided to buy some organic mission olives from Chaffin Family Farms, and try my hand at salt curing these olives.
They arrived yesterday and me and my son packed them into some ziplock bags and put them in the fridge as my bulk order of salt will not arrive until early next week. We will then pack them up with the salt into 5L glass fido jars and hope they cure! I received 17 pounds of olives from Chaffin Family Farms and plan to use about 25-27 pounds of sea salt for the curing. The process is pretty easy, and I read this post to get some guidance.
I will keep you all posted on how it goes. Aren't they beautiful?!
