Canadian Capers

These are a substitute for the real capers bottled commercially. These are Nasturtium seed capers.

Ingredients

Nasturtium seeds (fresh picked and not sprayed with any chemicals)
White vinegar
Salt
Peppercorns

Instructions

To each 2 1/2 cups of vinegar in a saucepan add 3 teaspoons salt and 6 peppercorns (berries). Bring to boiling point. Cool.
Strain into sealer or crock.

Notes

Gather young nasturtium seeds as soon as the blossoms fall and before the seeds get hard. Drop them into prepared vinegar and let stand at least two days before using them.
