First olive harvest - Patience pays off

I couldn't wait any longer... I was so excited to bottle my first batch of 54 olives. Making the brine solution was a learning experience in itself.  I watched a video on youtube which said I should add salt to water until an egg floats in it and that is when the brine solution is salty enough.  My first egg had a crack in it so there I was adding salt until the entire house's salt was used up... and still no floating egg! LOL! In future, will rather go by recipe instead of the 'egg' method! ;)  Now, ....to wait 6? months before I can taste them!!
