Do we crush them or keep them whole?
I went to the Mishnah and found this in Chapter 10 of Terumot:
MISHNAH 7. IF OLIVES OF HULLIN WERE PICKLED TOGETHER 28 WITH OLIVES OF TERUMAH, WHETHER IT WAS A CASE WHERE CRUSHED [OLIVES] OF HULLIN [WERE PICKLED TOGETHER] WITH CRUSHED [OLIVES] OF TERUMAH, OR CRUSHED [OLIVES] OF HULLIN WITH WHOLE [OLIVES] OF TERUMAH, 29 OR WITH JUICE OF TERUMAH, 30 THEY ARE FORBIDDEN. BUT IF WHOLE [OLIVES] OF HULLIN WERE PICKLED WITH CRUSHED [OLIVES] OF TERUMAH, THEY ARE PERMITTED. 31
(28) In salt water.(29) Once the olives of hullin are crushed they absorb the taste of those of terumah that are whole.(30) Water in which terumah olives had been pickled.(31) Because whole olives only emit flavour, but do not absorb that of the olives of terumah.
Both are possible.

I cut slits in mine and it worked very well. I was using semi-ripe black olives, first soaked in water then pickled in brine.
