         COSIG: Olive trees and recipes?

Hi. I will try and find the recipes. Lye is indeed caustic soda - potassium
hydroxide. I wrote to the state of California Ag. Dept. for an olive oil
recipe. They sent one that first tells you NOT to do it, then gives the
recipe.

Thanks for the input, Don. I am copying this to COSIG - it's a good idea
to send this sort of info to everybody.

Could you dig out some of the recipes for the lye and the brine? Over
here, lye is caustic soda, but that's probably not what you meant...

Regards
Greg

         COSIG: Olive trees and recipes?

Greg. I would like some ideas! I have 20+ trees that are ready to pick. A
couple of years ago I collected some recipies for olives and olive oils.
There were huge variations in the recipies so I tried one at random. It was
OK (soak olives in lye, then in a brine). The 5 gallons of olives I got are
now gone so it is time to try again. I also made some oil (virgin oil no less).
It was supposed to sit and age for 6 months. At first it was kind of bitter
but after a couple of months it changed a lot. Damn dog knocked over the
bucket soon after that. Please pass on the responses you get. Don

         Hobby cooks: COSIG is for you

I'd like to get on the distribution list for COSIG.  Your message came
at a good time.  I've got an olive tree in my back yard and the olives
will be ripe any day.  Do you have a recipe to make olives?  I'd
appreciate any help you could give me.

Thanks,
