To Pickle Nasturtiums

Source: Eliza Acton, 1845

Instructions

  1. Gather the nasturtium berries quite young, mixing in a portion of the buds while these are very small.
  2. Prepare a pickle by dissolving an ounce and a half of salt in a quart of pale vinegar.
  3. Throw in the berries as they become fit, from day to day.
  4. If purchased for pickling, put them at once into a jar and cover them well with the vinegar.
  5. They are used instead of capers for sauce, and by some persons are preferred to them.
