• Split the olives using a hammer or a wooden spoon
• Put them in a bowl and cover with water.
• Change the water every day until the olives become less bitter. It should take between 5 and 7 days
• Put all the other ingredients into one large jar or plastic container (or several small ones) which can be properly sealed. Add the olives. Leave for at least a month, so that the flavours can blend before starting to use them
