No lye used in this- just salt water. And to answer you, Nancree, the
jars are kept in the fridge- the olives are in their storage brine.
When you want to eat some, you take out the desired amount, rinse, and
marinate for a few hours in olive oil in whatever spices you want- I
used chopped garlic, oregano, and crushed red pepper. That way, you
only prep up what you need at the time.
