Got any good olive cure/brine recipes?

Well, since olives are great to satisfy those "munchies", especially when medicated to stimulate appetite, this could be indirectly topical. Olives are very healthy too.

Anyone have or know a cure for olives, particularly the ripe black salty shriveled up ones? Some cure dry in salt, others with lye- and that's no lie! Either way it seems to require water leeching/soaking and lots AND LOTS of water changes. I don't know much, but I do know that.

Most folks don't know, you can't just pick an olive and eat it. They are terribly bitter and even have a poison to protect the fruit from insects, birds, and critters.

Here is an interesting page or two:
