Thanks Hab's for link to that recipe...don't know how I missed that!  I can see that on a cream cheese crostini! Yum!

They really go good on or with almost anything, and can be substituted for olives in any recipe, though you may have to adjust the salt the recipe calls for. They are fantastic on pizza, and in salads. I have yet to make a tapenade from them, but that should work out fine also.

Using pitted Kalamata, or black pitted olives that are not brine give you a totally different flavor, and worth the little amount of time it takes.

So it has been over a month since I smoked these up.  Been checking on them every so often and they were mellowing nicely.  They is just about like smokin cheese.  The more time they sit the better they get.  Just checked on them today and Hog Dang they is good.  The smoke flavor is very nice and no ash tray taste at all.  So this was the test run for Christmas gifts.  Winner Winner so I will be doing several jars and they will be nice and mellow for Christmas.

Great to hear they came out good. I used to give them as Christmas gifts, maybe I will do that again next year. When I give a party I always make a pickle platter and the Smoke Olive is one of the pickles, and they are always a big hit.
