Wash the olives in water.

Add the olives to a large jar.

Add some chili peppers, garlic cloves (with the skin on), and fennel seeds to the jar.

Prepare the brine by using an egg to determine the salt concentration: place the egg in water and add salt until the egg floats.

Once the egg floats, the brine is ready to use.

Pour the brine into the jar with the olives and other ingredients.

Seal the jar tightly with new lids.

Let the olives sit for two months before consuming.
