Greek Olives - cooking recipe

Ingredients

fresh olives
olive oil
salt
apple cider vinegar
fresh garlic cloves, cleaned
oregano (imported from Greece)
lemons, sliced into 8 wedges

Preparation

Slit olives 3 times lengthwise.
Soak olives in cold water to remove bitterness.
Change water daily.
(Let soak until you can eat one.
Some bitterness will remain.)
Next, soak olives in brine for 3 days, being sure to saturate water with salt.
Drain olives, saving brine.
Place olives into large vat.
Throw in a generous amount of oregano and pour in enough olive oil to saturate them as you turn them over and over and over.
Have jars ready.
