tip To sterilize jars: wah the jar and lid in warm soapy water; rinse well. Place jar in large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Carefully drain water from jars; transfer jar and lid to a baking sheet lined with a clean tea towel. Cover with a sheet of foil and place in a 200*F oven until dry. Use straight from the oven.
Serve olives warm if you like or store olives in refrigerator for one week.
