Gin-marinated Olives

Total Time: 3 hrs 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients

• 1 cup colossal size pimento stuffed olive
• 1/4 cup gin
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 5 lemons, strips (1/4-inch and each about 3-inches long )

Recipe

• 1 combine all ingredients in a non-reactive dish and cover tightly. allow olives to marinate at least 2 to 3 hours or up to 4 days in the refrigerator. (if you are only marinating them for a few hours, leave the olives in the marinade at room temperature.)
• 2 note: these olives are great in martinis and also double as a quick party hors d'oeuvre. if you plan on using them exclusively as an hors d'oeuvre, drizzle a little extra-virgin olive.
