How We Easily Cured Olives Harvested From Our Land
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- It's day 2 of Vlogmas, and we're curing our olives! I'm going to be honest, when I first saw an olive on a tree a couple of years ago I was shocked to discover you can't eat them straight off, because they're horribly BITTER!
In todays video I'm showing you the curing method I'm going to use, which is fast and easy :)

Hi both - wow those olives are going to be fab - It was our pleasure to help and thanks for your hospitality. Never knew the different methods of preparing olives really interesting and can't wait to see how they turn out. 😀👍
Thanks so much for your help! Hope everything’s going well with you and we’re looking forward to following your epic journey 😊
Oh Bee, thanks so much for the olive tutorial. You two are fabulous ♥️
What I read said keep in the brine 1 week not change water every day. Drain after one week, then do again for another week, for a total of 4 weeks
Very nice, as usual.
Looking forward to seeing how the olives turn out.
The bath is coming along nicely.
Seems like you could use some outdoors chairs and a good sturdy table to work on.
Most of all I just enjoy seeing your two charming selves. Thanks for the smiles and good cheer.
Happy Days
Gingy seems to be loving life for sure! TFS! Blessings ~Lisa
She really is loving it!
You could cut the tub cover in two parts so when your in your hot bath you can put half of the lid back on and the water won't get cold so quickly. It will also easier to lift instead of one big peace.
Good idea 😊
@@theindieprojects thank you ^^
Just had our first heavy frost in East Yorkshire. So enjoy the warmth. Your vlogs are so interesting, really enjoying them. Best wishes from Susan.
On a small batch try to add the top of the orange peel (without the white stuff ) and aromatic herbs + little bit of salt. Gives the olives a really nice taste.
Ooh thanks will give that a whirl when I preserve them in smaller jars 😊
So great! I can’t wait to move onto the land and grow my own olives! :)
I've always hated olives. However, onc I tasted olives kept in water, as opposed to brine. I think that's because I don't like salt much , I absolutely loved them so much so that I would suck on the pit just so they would let longer.. I still hate all other kinds of olives. Try one just cured in water, even if you don't like other kinds.
Unfortunately I cannot get to Montreal to this Italian place where they sell them, or I would buy them all the time.
That’s why I like the black olives the green ones are too salty
What a great experience guys. Happy Vlogmas
Thanks for watching!
Love that u said "ain't nobody got time for that" lol
Goodmorning a beautiful video again. Seems like you got yourself olive preparing for a few weeks.....Bath project looks nice and promising. Good to see Gingy is enjoying her new life in Portugal.
Thank you ❤️ yes olives are going to be making an appearance every day for the foreseeable future!
Olives!!! I never knew that’s how they were prepared! Just like canning in the old days, takes a village!
It truly does! You see large groups of people collecting the olives all over the landscape here 😊
I think these olives are gonna take up 90% of Vlogmas for the month.....there is sooo much.
Indeed! You guys are going to witness their transformation 😊
love you guys.... as much as you've hidden registration plate its plane for all to see in this one, might want to edit this one..... keep up the fab work
Ha, I thought that too... Not too sure why people hide their Reg number anyway!
We’re not hiding it. We did at one point as we had people being strange and searching stuff up etc but we just don’t care anymore 😂
Great job.
That olive thing is useful for me to know because Im just looking at some land for sale and its 3.5 acres and it has olive trees+apple&pair trees so its good to know how to get them ready.
Glad to be of use!
the local Spanish olive curing method is with brine and add bunches of local thyme and crushed garlic and orange peel, and if all else fails the local Agricultural Co-operative will sell them in bulk...Also next year depending on how many olive trees and sacks of them you can harvest. The local olive oil makers will take your olives and convert them into your own olive oil....for a percentage !!
Loving the sound of trying it with orange peel! We may take them to the press next year if we harvest enough, this year I don’t think we’ll be doing that
In one of your earlier videos when I spotted them on the tree's, the first thing that came into my mind was, oh, damson jam lol
I love olives!!!
Roughly where abouts are you in Portugal? I'm going to enjoy following your progress on the land.
Gosh, that's a slow process with the olives - I never realised!
Yes! Labour of love ❤️
We need a proper finished van tour!
In the not too distant future!
Love olives 😍🤗
Great video
Olive oil for lamps, heating, even bio diesel. Time to start researching.
Yes indeed!
I feel like I should be saving jars for you!!
Haha that would be brill if you don’t mind 😉😂
use a sieve in future to rough sort.Eg such as you used for sieving soil only made out of wood with rough sized holes. Should make sorting quicker.
Them olives will be amazing
Can’t wait!
Howdy Guys! The "stairway" for the raised tub area could be done in a ships ladder style. The tub you have now could be a great two part wash tub for laundry.
Cheers! Am thinking of using it as part of the grey water treatment, maybe fill it with some gravel and reeds?
That ☀️was lush
👌👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌✌️
😊🙌
Done "cast iron" grab a steel barrel (cut top bottom off and then cut in half) great to use at ends ,but still use stones to hold them in place.. build a wood stair case ?when you have rocks for free that could be used? Olives !! do you have a stream? for leaching.. The Native America did same for acorn nuts to eat them.. you can brine after..
Oh I never thought of eating acorn nuts! We have a good few cork trees that produce acorns, will have to look into what we can do with them 😊
@@theindieprojects LOL no the process of putting them in river stream to get them ready for eating the olives...would be much less work no changing water... acorn nuts are very bitter and that is why they "soak them in stream..Love your land and your video
You could make some stone steps with all the rocks you have up to your bath
what area are you in ,in portugal its beautiful. love the bath idea
It’s good to know how to do that Bee for we don’t have a olive trees that’s good to know. When we do someday
Should you dig down a bit - at least half the height of the concrete blocks holding the tub up? Then insert them into the soil?
It’s on top of a granite rock so can’t dig the blocks in 🤷♀️
Get an olive seed remover from your local store.
Copper piping is not easily available at hardware stores, specially where you are. But you can order it online from portuguese shops and have it delivered. From 12mm in diameter to over 50mm. Good luck trying to find a cast iron tub... Portugal is not the UK.
Yes we’ve discovered it’s impossible to find here, we’re trying something different and a lot simpler now 😊 thanks for the info!
Was there not a smaller GPS for Ginjy? She is so cute exploring her new home. You peons (of her's) are doing a good job.
Hi, couldn't you cut the olives as you are grading them?
Lovely music guys !! :)
Thank you 😊
It indeed is! Any pointers to the creators / artists?
Songs are from Epidemic Sound 👍
Great video and Gingy is enjoying the property so much!
She loves it!
Theo has all kinds of schemes rolling around inside his head. How long until you build a fort!?
He’s a busy man!
Hi Bee, could you use a cherry pitter to stone the olives, it would be faster than cutting each one😅
I don’t have one!!!
BTW how are you guys doing for water, you have a well are you getting water from it/filtering it or boiling it or do you just use store bought water?
Just from this video we see they will use alot of water just for olives and baths.
We’ve got two wells but we get our drinking water from a water source in a local village 👍
Wow brilliant what was the date of this video, weather looks so good it's 3rd December here
2nd December!
Hey Theo, Your fence will stay even and tight if you continue to twist the wires at the ends of the length of fencing as you’re attaching to the posts. It will last for years! That’s how we do it in New Mexico.
Thanks for the info 👍
“Lob” them in there 😂
😂
We are up in southern Alberta Canada, and we don’t have olive tree in Canada
You should try taking some olives and seasoning them with oregano, minced garlic, olive oil and whatever else you like, couldn't find the a recipe in English but it's called "Azeitonas temperadas".
Yum sounds delicious!
Any good reclamation yards near you? Check out because you can usually pick up some great wooden planks etc very reasonable.. Also I saw a bath that was built on top of two foot wide concrete pipes then a small layer of sand and about 1inch concrete base with drainage plug in place then sides built with concrete blocks, this can be sealed with plaster or even a suitable epoxy layer or even tiles, think Morocco bath style ??
Sorry should have added you light your fire in the pipes below
Sounds interesting! We checked out a scrap yard about an hour away yesterday, showing all about it in today’s Vlog 😊
More then welcomed to collect olive in jordan
Pour the salty water (brine) from the olives onto any weeds that you need to clear.
Genius idea!!!
...smart...!!!
Just be sure not to Salt any area that you may need to grow in the future. The Salt will prevent anything from growing ever.
Ever? that's a long time.
Salt water directly damages plants by accumulating chloride and sodium ions that can be toxic as they accumulate in plants. ... Also, the longer plants experience salt water inundation the greater the toxicity. A good thing about salt is that it is readily soluble and will leach out of the soil with successive rains.
In which area are you in Portugal? Please make a little sightseeing tour of the beautifull landscape. Much love from the Alentejo.
We’re keeping the location secret, we had people come hunt us down in the U.K. and we don’t want that happening here 😊
@@theindieprojects I understand. Some people are really crazy.
watched 2 videos in one day.
We have LID’l here on the East Coast of the USA
Four plugs,hehe.
I dont like olives either, but you could make your own olive oil, for cooking and health and home remedies, and wine of course..
You should check out ( Pure Living for Life channel ) . They built a wood burning hot tube and its really nice .
Yes we’ve seen it! Looks lovely ❤️
Bea;- Get yourself a `Olive Pitter` machine - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283231846419 - Theo;- How will you fill and empty the bath?............are you considering some type water harvesting?
An Olive pitter would be great, not seen any in the local area. We’re going to harvest water from the wells in the future but we need a pump
👍🏻
What is the song's name on the beginning????
It’s a custom track 👍
@@theindieprojects oh okay thanks, btw i love your channel
Guys, baths in your part of the world are made from concrete/masonry/tiles etc. Good luck with a cast iron bath search.
They have cast iron baths here
I'd buy imported fresh picked cured olives here in the US 🍃🌱🔪🍾🍄
Are you guys learning Portuguese?
sim, nós somos!
@@theindieprojects cool! If you need some help send me a message 😊
:)
