Ingredients
4 teaspoons fennel seeds
4 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
6 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 cups Kalamata (preferred) or Gaeta olives
8 strips of orange peel, white pith removed, about ½ inch wide and 3 ½ inches long
6 strips lemon peel, white pith removed, about ½ inch wide and 3 ½ inches long
2 tablespoons honey
Preparation
- Step 1
Puree fennel seeds, garlic, orange juice and vinegar in a blender, or with a mortar and pestle, until a liquid paste is formed. This will take 2 or 3 minutes in the blender, and twice as long with a pestle.
- Step 2
With a rubber spatula, scrape every bit of the fennel mixture onto the olives. Stir orange peel, lemon peel and honey into the olives.
- Step 3
Cover and refrigerate at least 24 hours, stirring or shaking occasionally.
