    I've found a recipe on line; all measurements in 'cups' and am brining the seeds first as collected so many, then will use white balsamic from Lidlimage Should fill a 500ml jar and a smaller one. The theory is the brining stops them from being too mustardy.

    In Malta, they seem to just preserve their capers in salt, which makes them far too salty, bought capers are in brine and Jane Grigson, normally a food hero of mine scoffs at the idea of preserving Nasturtium seedsimage 

    But if Dove does it, that's good enough for meimage

    Jane Grigson is also a food hero of mine - and given the choice of free capers or free nasturtium seeds, I'd choose the capers - but I don't turn my nose up at free food.

    I also love the leaves in salad, and they're superb in  sandwich with some slices of salami image  I love that mustardy bite image


    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.





  • they like poor soil and good drainage and don't over water,remember to use the flowers and leaves plus the seeds for capers. you need to make sure it does not go to seed  and don't over water or feed.

    They used them in some sort of relish, raddish i think on the big allotment challenge, dunno if they used them whole or chopped, but the judge was very impressed image
