Capers

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Brining the Capers

    Rinse the capers under cold water to remove excess salt or brine.

  2. 2

    Mixing the Brine

    In a medium saucepan, combine water, white vinegar, salt, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until salt and sugar dissolve.

  3. 3

    Pickling the Capers

    Add the rinsed capers to the boiling brine. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 5-10 minutes to infuse the flavors.

  4. 4

    Cooling and Storing

    Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Transfer the capers and brine to a clean jar and store in the refrigerator.
