How to Make Olive Jam

  1. Combine 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 small anchovy fillet (optional), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a food processor.
  2. Process until a smooth paste forms, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired (add more lemon juice for brightness, red pepper flakes for heat, or a pinch of salt).
  3. Transfer to a small bowl and let sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with crusty bread, crudités, crackers, or your favorite pasta.
