Zippy! I LOVE green olives, and I love lemon juice, but I'm not quite ready for THAT much lemon juice so added a few tablespoons of sugar to tone it down a hair. Used dried parsley and basil (couldn't find my frozen chopped basil in my newly rearranged freezer--now who would do such a thing as that?) would prefer fresh, but oh well. When you got it, you got it...when you don't -- punt! We'll be serving this on our "appetizer" buffet for Thanksgiving Day prior to the feast. Thanks for being a part of our celebration!!

This recipe was lovely - I cut it in half and added a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar because it tasted like it was missing something. I wonder if it might be better with the saltier cured Greek or Italian olives as opposed to the plain old canned pitted green olives I used. I ate this relish with "Recipe #141973" - I think I'll eat the leftovers with salmon.
