Easy Olive Caper Relish

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"If you're looking for extreme flavor then this is one you will have to try! --- spread on toasts and use as a quick d'oeuvre or use as a condiment --- plan ahead this needs to be refrigerated for a minimum of 4 hours before serving the flavors intensify with chilling --- this makes about 1-1/2 cups if you want to double the recipe make in two separate batches and keep in two glass containers don't store the two batches together as the flavors tend to become too overpowering."

This is a wonderful appetizer, indeed. However you need to know this info! I recently learned, that fresh garlic and olive oil are the perfect companions for Botulism. So this needs to be eaten up in 3-4 days!! The Foodnetwork had a special on garlic a little while back. This is where the info came from. (Alton Brown) Koechin/Ingrid

Excellent. Great on a Muffeletta sandwich. I was low on Kalamata olives and used some regular black olives and it was still excellent. Someone ask me where I got olive relish. Thanks for another great recipe Kittencal.
