Nice finger food, or great on sandwiches. Also good as a garnish for a bloody mary or a martini.

I prepared more as tapas for guest the coming weekend. This this time I prepared 4 portions.
To preserve them longer I added the olives to the boiling liquid, boiled for 2 more minutes and filled the 4 jars. Thanks a lot, we will enjoy them during these holydays!

I'm glad you offered this recipe in PRMR! I love olives and this variation.
I used half dryed chilies from the garden and fresh dill.
Now it is wonderful, but I think after 2-4 days it would be delicious as well.
Don't throw away the juice, use on salads!

So simple and so tasty! I'm making these for Christmas gifts. The only thing I do different is to mince the garlic, so there are little garlicky bits clinging to every olive. Thanks for the recipe!
