  • handful of wild garlic seed pods

  • First make the brine by dissolving the salt in the cold water.
  • Put the seed pods in the glass jar and pour the brine over them until everything is well submerged.
  • Close the jar and put it in the fridge for two months.
  • After two months, pour off the brine. Leave the seed pods in the jar and pour over them with apple cider vinegar.
  • Leave the jar in the fridge for at least another two weeks.
  • Then your wild garlic capers are ready to be used! Delicious through a salad, on a drinks board or as a spicy topping on a vegetable dish. You can use them the rest of the year - as long as your stock lasts, of course.
