Source: Eliza Acton, 1845
Ingredients
- nasturtiums
- 1 1/2 oz salt

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