DH loves olives but said these weren't any better than plain olives, even though he loves spicy foods. Next time I would omit the olive oil as it congeals and sticks to olives when refrigerated. Others may love this recipe, but DH could only give it a 3-star. Sorry to disappointment you, Miss Annie.
