<pre>Hello Margaret,
Are you sure these fruits are olives? I grew up eating all the various
Chinese preserved fruits and was always under the impression that they were
different types of plum. While the fruit was about the size of a large
olive, and usually black or green, the seeds were certainly not like olive
seeds * larger and with sharp points on both ends.
Regards,

Julie Lloyd
