Preparation
- If using brine-packed olives, drain them. In a medium bowl, combine the olives, salt, peppercorns, bay leaves, herb sprigs, fennel seeds, garlic, and red pepper flakes, if using. Zest the lemons in whatever size zest you like: a mix of finely grated zest for the brightest flavor and larger strips for color is nice. Add the zest and oil to the olives and mix well. Pour and scrape into a covered jar and refrigerate overnight to let the flavors mingle before serving.
Tip
Wine Pick: Pair with a Côtes du Rhône Villages Valréas White.

This is a wonderful recipe for holiday gift giving. I made it last year and the few olives left in the bottom of the jar were still delicious one year later. Yum!! A wonderful blend of tangy, salty, hot, and tart!

This is a fantastic recipe - I used an italian green olive (Cerignolas I think) that were super fresh and tasty to begin with but this put them over the top! I served them in a swing top jar for a nice presentation and they were the first thing to run out at my party!
