      Title: Lye-Cured Green Olives
 Categories: Vegetables, Preserving
      Yield: 1 Recipe

      1    Text Method

  from Maggie Beth Klein's "The Feast of the Olive."

  Use olives that are mature but still green. Purchase lye
  in the cleanser section of your grocery or hardware store.

  (Note: Lye is a strong alkali that can cause serious
  burns. Read all warnings and precautions on the lye
  container before opening and preparing a solution. Keep
  lemon or vinegar handy to neutralize any lye that splashes
  onto the skin. If lye gets into your eyes, bathe them with
  running water and call a doctor immediately. If lye is
  swallowed, call your doctor, drink milk or egg white, and
  do not induce vomiting.)

  Rinse the olives with water and place them in large glass
  or porcelain jars; then determine how much lye solution
  you need to cover the amount of olives you have. Add a
  solution that has been mixed at the ratio of 1 quart water
  (at 65 - 75øF.) to 1 tablespoon lye. Soak 12 hours.

  Drain olives; then soak 12 more hours in fresh lye
  solution. Drain and rinse. Cut into the largest olive; if
  the lye has reached the pit, the lye cure is complete.
  Rinse again and soak in cold water. If one more bath is
  necessary, soak in fresh lye solution for 12 more hours;
  then drain and rinse with cold water.

  Soak the olives in fresh, cold water, changing the water
  three or more times a day for the next three days. At the
  end of three days, taste an olive to make sure that there
  is no trace of lye flavor remaining.

  Next, soak the olives for at least one day in a brine
  solution mixed at the ratio of 6 tablespoons salt to 1
  gallon water. The olives are now ready for eating. Store
  the rest in the brine solution in a cool, dark place,
  preferably the refrigerator, or marinate and store in the
  refrigerator. Use within two months.
