Preparation

1. Puree fennel seeds, garlic, orange juice and vinegar in a blender, or with a mortar and pestle, until a liquid paste is formed. This will take 2 or 3 minutes in the blender, and twice as long with a pestle.
2. With a rubber spatula, scrape every bit of the fennel mixture onto the olives. Stir orange peel, lemon peel and honey into the olives.
3. Cover and refrigerate at least 24 hours, stirring or shaking occasionally.
