I ran across this recipe in a local publication. "Cherry Olives" have a sweet-sour thing going. The first time you eat one, your taste buds wonder , "what was that?!" The second cherry you eat goes down better and by third one you can't stop eating them. Read more People often say, "Why would you want to ruin perfectly good cherries by pickling them?" But once you start eating them the jar is soon finished. See less
