If you recall (and if you can't - scroll down a post or two) I had described how important it is to cure olives rather than just eating them straight from the tree. The process involves soaking them in brine for about six weeks. Well were now on week three of our little test group and things seem to be going ok. I change the water and clean the bowl every week and have noticed how quickly the water becomes a dark red colour. The below photo (and yes I know its badly out of focus) shows the extent of the colouration. At this stage I can only speculate on whether this will continue or have ceased by the end of the experiment.
Check back next week for another update. Ooooh, I can hardly wait; it's just so exciting.
