This is a really great recipe. I didn't reserve the brine because didn't want the sodium but added some white wine vinegar mixed with a little olive oil to top up the mixture. The taste is so tangy after a week that it's tough not to eat the whole jar at once. Thanks for posting this. -
I've made this recipe several times after finding it in a magazine. It's simple and quick and lends a whole new taste to jarred olives.
