It’s been a very busy year and that has meant that olives have had to take second place. Today, with the 2012 harvest ripening before our eyes, the 2011 crop had to be jarred to make room! 11 big jars, one very big one and a tiddler. Last year’s crop was very tasty indeed so I’m expecting great things! They’re desalting now in a weak vinegar solution. The pan in the background is the cooling brine for tomorrow’s harvest.
