Olives
We all know Olive Oil is very good for us but until I started looking how to preserve fresh Olives I didn't realise how good the whole Olives are for our health.
Many years ago we collected a big pot of Olives from New Norcia Monastery and preserved them my memory is that it took weeks. Now I have my first big crop and wonder if anyone has good recipes?

Thanks for the informative link Viv
My Italian neighbour preserves olives in brine ...sure an improvement on the bitter taste when raw.
Sure like other drupe fruits they are very nutritious but I have never acquired taste for them hence do not partake in eating enough of them to be beneficial to me ..... give me a plum or cherry anyday.
Having said that olives are a vast part of the Mediteranean diet which is supposed to be be very healthy.
