We do a lot of canning from our garden and we grow blueberries,raspberries, apples, asparagus and tomatoes, peppers and so much more. We can about 60 quarts of tomato sauce every year. It is a lot of work, but so good to eat. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing that.Carol Schockling Laweckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00118585525880689940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371375811459443941.post-59144888183963319342009-04-30T14:41:00.000+12:002009-04-30T14:41:00.000+12:00Hi Bella,

You are so lucky to have a place near you that will extract the oils!

...Hi Celestina Marie,<br /><br />Thanks so much for visiting.<br /><br />It is quite a big rigmarole - they were placed in a bucket with a solution of salt and water and that needed to be changed daily for 12 days.<br />They are still bitter but I think if they are left to preserve for longer they should be ok.<br />They last for about a year, it said in the notes I read, so we will have to see.<br /><br />Have a wonderful time away.<br /><br />Hugs<br />CarolynDraffin Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01448539647442095635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371375811459443941.post-32225034880212180662009-04-30T12:29:00.000+12:002009-04-30T12:29:00.000+12:00Hi Carolyn,

Do they stay in the frig? I think it is fasinating. What talent you have for so many creations and interests.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and good luck in my giveaway.<br />Hugs, Celestina MarieCelestina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021633519525822335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371375811459443941.post-39660590018486454612009-04-30T10:10:00.000+12:002009-04-30T10:10:00.000+12:00Thank you Lavender Dreamer and The Victorian Parlo...Thank you Lavender Dreamer and The Victorian Parlor.<br /><br />On the notes that I have been reading about them, they said that you would not want to go back to store bought olives.<br />My husband tried one and they are still a little bitter, but I think they will sit in the brine for a while, before they will be good to eat. It is all a learning thing for us, but it is fun.<br /><br />Hugs<br />CarolynDraffin Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01448539647442095635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371375811459443941.post-76067693981387969312009-04-30T08:37:00.000+12:002009-04-30T08:37:00.000+12:00Yummmm!
