PICKLED NASTURTIUMS (a very good Substitute for Capers)

Ingredients

• To each pint of vinegar
• 1 oz salt
• 6 peppercorns
• nasturtiums

Instructions

1. Gather the nasturtium-pods on a dry day, and wipe them clean with a cloth;
2. put them in a dry glass bottle, with vinegar, salt, and pepper in the above proportion.
3. If you cannot find enough ripe to fill a bottle, cork up what you have got until you have some more fit: they may be added from day to day.
4. Bung up the bottles, and seal or rosin the tops.
5. They will be fit for use in 10 or 12 months; and the best way is to make them one season for the next.
