Olives - preserved at home

Nothing beats home preserved olives - for a fraction of price compared to commercial ones.

How to do it:
Buy olives that seem fresh and without blemishes.
Cut each one lenghtwise (to the stone). Place them into a bowl (bucket) cover with cold water and place a plate on top of them. For the next 4 weeks, change water every day (small olives are usually ready after 3 weeks - bite one if still bitter continue with changing water).
After 4 weeks, put olives into clean jars.
Boil water; add 40-50 g salt for each litre; dissolve.
Pour hot salty water in jars with olives; replace lid and close tightly.
After 1 week of 'sitting' in salty water, olives are ready to eat.
Can last for months in a cool spot.
Once opened keep refrigerated.

Masline u salmuri / pajcu spremljene na domaći način

Mnogo jeftinije i mnogo ukusnije od kupovnih!

Nacin:
Kupite masline da izgledaju svjeze i bez udaraca.
Nozem narezite svaku po duzini i do kospice.
Smjestite ih u vanglu / kofu, zalijte hladnom vodom.
Stavite tanjir na povrsinu da ih drzi u vodi. Mijenjajte vodu svaki dan u naredne 4 sedmice. Manjim maslinama je dovoljno 3 sedmice u vodi; zagrizite jednu - ako je jos gorka nastavite sa mijenjanjem vode.
Zatim masline smjestite u ciste tegle / galone.
Prokuhajte vodu i na svaki litar dodajte 40-50 gr soli. Promijesajte i zalijte tegle sa maslinama. Stavite poklopac i smjestite ih u ostavu / spajz.
Masline su spremne za jesti nakon 7 dana.
Neotvorene mogu trajati mjesecima.
Nacete tegle cuvajte u frizideru.
