Directions
For Marinated Olives, in medium bowl combine olives, olive oil, lemon zest, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Cover; chill at least 12 hours or overnight.
For Pickled Vegetables, in large saucepan combine vinegar, warm water, salt, fresh dill, sugar, mustard seeds, and dill seeds. Bring to simmering, stirring to dissolve salt and sugar. Remove from heat; cool completely.
