Ingredients

2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced lengthwise

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup white-wine vinegar

1 large shallot, thinly sliced lengthwise

1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon whole allspice, lightly crushed with flat side of a large heavy knife

1 teaspoon whole pink peppercorns, lightly crushed

1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick

These Olives Can Be Served Warm Or At Room Temperature, But The Flavor Is Brighter And The Texture More Tender When They're Warm.
