Also known as 'oxeye daisy capers' this is a really great pickle that, truly, can be used as a substitute for capers.

Ingredients:

150g oxeye daisy flower buds, picked before they show an indication of opening
80g salt
300ml cider vinegar

Method:

Add the vinegar and salt to a pan and heat until the salt dissolves. Put the oxeye daisy flower buds in a large jar and top with the warm vinegar mix.

Cover the jar and stir every day for a week then transfer the oxeye daisy buds to a clean, sterilized jar, top with the vinegar mix, seal and store in the fridge for at least 2 weeks to mature before using.

These make an excellent replacement for capers and are wonderful on salads.
