Shiny Black Olives

       How to serve black olives at a party to keep them shiny? I learned this technique from the chef when I was working at a restaurant a long time ago. We often time served black olives along with appetizers on banquets. We decorated them with lemon or added them to a charcuterie cheese board.

However, they have a little problem with serving, olives became very fast dull on the surface, and not attractive after a short period of time.

2. How Easy To Make Handmade Olive Picker From A Jar Tool With Drain?

        The perfect DIY olives serving spoon (fork) for picking olives one by one without damage from a jar is made from a fork. For example, we need to take out an olive from a narrow-mouth jar to garnish the martini cocktail but don’t have on hand any tool. It happens to me because we are in house remodeling and some kitchen tools are in boxes. The small spoon doesn’t have a drain and works not great for this purpose. Of course, we can find much better olive tools ( I like mini tongs) on the market but if you don’t have one on hand check out this idea! I took from my husband’s garage needle pliers and bent the tips of my old fork. If you don’t have an old fork at home, check out local Goodville. So easy!

*We can also make more than one tool for different sizes of olives, macchiato cherries, pickled onions, and much more.

Another option to make a handmade tool with a drain for olives is to use a spoon. It takes longer but works well too. Use a spoon, best with a longer handle and made out of a softer metal. Make holes with a large nail and hammer. Then bend the spoon.
