As we were getting dinner ready tonight, I realized nothing was going in the freeze dryer. I needed to get something in going fast. My mom said she was wanting to do a run of olives but she hadn’t been to the store yet to get a full run of olives. So between our two houses (we are neighbors) we each filled two trays of sliced olives and in the Harvest Right freeze dryer they went. This will be our first-time running olives and I can’t wait to try them. I have a few ideas on how I will use these olives when they come out.

IDEAS:
– Using them in a salad to give a little crunch
– Adding them to our homemade pizza’s and letting the sauce rehydrate them as they cook.

What is your favorite way to use your olives?

24 hours later olives are out and ready to be jarred up. I decided to put them in smaller jars so I don’t have to reseal the jar every time I use a handful of olives. I will use an open jar and put a ring on it to hold fresh while I use it up.
