ABSTRACT:
Pitted olives are stuffed with an edible food that has been dried to facilitate its handling, and the dried food is reconstituted within the pitted olives by packing the stuffed olives in an aqueous solution. Drying an edible food, such as pimiento, is carried out to cause an increase in stiffness and a drying of the surface texture to permit gripping of the food without slipping. Also, a reduction in size will accompany the drying of the food particularly if air drying is used. With this reduced size condition of the food, greater clearance can be allowed between the walls of the olive pit cavity and the sides of the food to be inserted since the food will swell to a tight fit within the pit cavity upon subsequent reconstitution. The stiffness of the dried food will be greater than that of the olive adjacent the walls of the pit cavity so that the walls of the pit cavity will deflect outwardly to receive the dried food if the dried food is somewhat oversized or slightly out of alignment. Such an olive stuffing method is suitable for a mechanized operation with an olive stuffing machine that includes a spiral cutting blade with a helical configuration for simultaneously slicing dried pimiento held in a feed cartridge and advancing the pimiento for the next cut. A synchronized pusher stuffs the sliced pimiento into aligned pitted olives before the olives are placed in a salt water solution. Alternately, the slicing step and cutting blade can be dispensed with if the edible food is precut to a size for stuffing or is an individual item of a size suitable for stuffing.
