Enjoyed this 30 minute 2 minute recipe! :) You kept me company while I had a bowl of veggie soup and now I need to get out to the garden. We are due several days of rainy weather so I need to make the most of today. This winter I'll have fun rewatching your older videos of sowing nasturtiums to get some tips since it has never worked for me before. But after seeing your Poor Woman's Capers I need to make it happen next year. Thank you, Vivi...you are an excellent teacher and lunch companion.
Don’t know why I thought this video was new but enjoyed it anyhow. Have grown nasturtium in the past for the edible flowers, now I have a new reason to try them again!
Hi Vivi. When sterilizing your jars add a splash of cheap and cheerful plain white vinegar and it keeps the jars sparkling. We also add it to the water of our water bath canner and our pressure canner and it does the same thing.
Hahaha - I don't know why I didn't think of adding the vinegar....of course! I add it to all my clothes washing water....and clean my bath and taps with it etc. I'll definitely be adding some when I sterilise in future. Thank you. :-)
Hi Vivi, guess I will try pickling some of my nasturtium seeds after all! Lovely video and really like your hair up in the two bunches! There is a window in the weather forecast and I am determined to get to my allotment tomorrow! Must get the garlic in!
Love pickled nasturtium seeds! And while I’m harvesting I nibble the leaves too. I love nibbling the flowers but when bees are foraging alongside me I leave the flowers for them. 🐝🌺
watching this during the covid quarantine and had to shake my head when you said not to go mad and to leave some for others. Apparently that is not how a lot of people think, shown by the craziness sho
Thankyou for the 'caper'recipe, Vivi. Here, they grow en masse most of the year, except during the dry, when they slow right down. I've been meaning to give them a test run for years but haven't as yet, due to being a caper nut already. So, as I have a patch on the bank that has just finished, I'll check to see if any are still green and give it a go. If not, I'll harvest some seed to scatter around the garden. Take care, Veronica. X
I tried these this summer when I had seeds and was making pickles anyway...I'd just pickled a little jar of seeds while doing the cukes. I can't wait to try them! I haven't eaten capers too often, so I'm not sure in what dishes I'll use these, but it's a free food from the garden, must be very healthy, and I'm all for trying new things! Great video! Love your beeswax wraps, too!
As LB says they are great with fish (I don't eat fish but my friends say it's great that way)....I love them in salads, pizza (!), pasta dishes.......straight from the jar...... ;-)
It has rained here in Wales for 4 weeks solid suppose to be dry here tomorrow whoooo hoooo. but then back to rain. Great way to make poor persona capers. I'm so fed up of the rain, I've been on annual leave and its rained the entire time so heavy getting to the garden has been impossible. hope tomorrow comes through so I can get there. Need to film lol Great video as always Vivi
Oh my goodness.....four weeks! And there's me going crazy after just four days. Ach, and during your A/L too...bummer. :-( Fingers crossed for a dry day for you soon...... :-)
Finally someone shows me how you do this! I read about pickling nastirtium seeds ( in the Chilterns seed catalogue ) 30 years ago, so you brine them first 😯 👍 Yes this rain.....pffffff....
8:00 If I recall correctly, a few years back the Branston pickle factory had a fire and it broke their supply chain. Shops bought in other less known brands. They tasted much better. So, you never know our luck, maybe there are other brands of nooch that we rarely get to hear about and this is their chance to shine.
Loved the video, what a cracking idea. I had heard of them, but forgotten how easy they were. And I love the bunches, suits you. Hope the weather did improve for you, it's been so wet but today we finally have some 🌞, don't know for how long though lol, so it's a day on the plot for me yaaay. Take care lovely lady 😀👍
Finally we had a dry day yesterday and I managed to get to the garden....it felt wonderful! Oooooh, your parcel has arrived this morning - I LOVE it......and the story behind it. Perfect timing as I shall be planting tomorrow. Thank you SO much. :-) XXX
That's brilliant, I'm so excited I'm planting mine today, I'll be impatiently waiting for them to grow lol. Have a good day on the plot if you have good weather 😁👍
Hahaha - the extra padding is brilliant.....they are now sitting in the little bowl I had my salt in for this video. Thank you so much lovely. I hope you have a good weather for planting today - have fun! :-)
Hi Vivi, I have to try growing some nasturtiums. I was eating out a few years back and what I ordered had artichoke heart and capers. First time I've ever had them and loved them. ☺️Nice chat, I do hope you get a break from the rain and maybe we can get a turn a those showers, we've had such a Hot & Dry summer and fall. Until next time, you take good care! 😉💗💗💗
Oh I'd gladly trade you some of this rain right now! We had a few dry hours yesterday so I managed to get to the garden again......it felt wonderful. :-)
Vivi, just add some vinegar to the water when sterilizing your jar. I have hard water too. American canners do it all the time when canning. You realise when your jars are exposed to the air, it's no longer sterilized. But, it's wise to always sterilize the jars. I have never tasted cappers before so I have no idea how they taste.
Oh I don't know why I didn't think of adding the vinegar....of course! I add it to my clothes washing water....and clean my bath and taps with it etc. Perfect - thank you. Yes, of course re exposing the jars to air which is why I always sterilise just moments before using them.....this one had come out of the pan just a few seconds before. :-)
I don't know why I didn't think of adding the vinegar....of course! I add it to all my clothes washing water....and clean my bath, sinks and taps with it etc. I'll definitely be adding some when I sterilise in future. Thank you. :-)
I also put a few nasturtiums between my runner beans this year. But the beans have taken away the light, and the nasturtiums have broken after a short time. I love small treats of this kind. I would imagine that some glass would not be able to get into the fridge because I would have eaten it out beforehand. I'll try the beeswax wraps this winter, if I have a little more time. I am very curious how your "capers" will taste if you open them in a few weeks and try them. Big hug Claudia
14:16 "Go and put the kettle on." She says except I don't own one anymore! Several years ago my brother gifted me an electric device called One-Shot. It makes one cup of hot water, just right for my cup of tea. LOL I've never had capers, that I know of, so I am interested to see what you come up with. I love Nasturtiums and until 5 years ago there was always a batch or 2 or 3 or 4 of them in the yard. (Grin) The manly tools have defeated my feeble efforts in the yard. The man has managed to denude so much of the yard and yet the things that really need to come out don't!
Sorry about the season changing, it does tend to affect the mood, doesn’t it? I have been taking vitamin D for a few years and it has helped me tremendously, you could try it. I take 2000 units in the summer and 4000 in the winter.
I've been taking vit D for a little over a year now.......I'm not sure it has done anything for my mood but at least it has got my levels up to 'normal' again. :-)
Very interesting. I’ve tried growing nasturtiums but while they are still small it gets too hot here and they end up dying. I’ve only ever had 3-4 flowers and they don’t last long enough for seeds. I’d be interested in a video about your water bath canner. I’m wanting to start canning but am not quite sure how to go about it.
Kosher markets should have similar products. The may be a bit more expensive because the gave to pay a Rabi. The stock mix, I mean. My guess is the capers will keep for months in the fridge after opening.
if you add a few tablespoons to a quarter cup of white vinegar to your water bath canner during sterilization and/ or processing you won't get calcium buildup on your jars :)
I don't know why I didn't think of adding the vinegar....of course! I add it to all my clothes washing water....and clean my bath, sinks and taps with it etc. I'll definitely be adding some when I sterilise in future. Thank you. :-)
Hahaha. It helps with the hard water, gives a good rinse to get any soap residue out and keeps the machine clean.......and the laundry comes out smelling like fresh air. :-)
How long does it take for Vivi to make a lot and put in her store online at L3.49 for 5? Depending where your yeast flakes are Mfg it might not take that long. Did the company post anything or put out info? Check their web site. But def buy another tin? (can, canister? Not sure about the word in UK) Fab Vid though. Really chuffed! ... close ?
Know what you mean about rain. They said on the news last night that even if we get no rain the rest of the year it will still be the wettest year on record. I have never heard of pickling Nasturtium seeds before, interesting.
I think they're gorgeous....sort of peppery with a hint of brassica and, as Gabriella says, the pickling 'tames' them a bit plus you get that lovely piquant kick from the salt and vinegar. :-)

Thank you! :-)
You should totally sell these beeswax cloths in your shop!
I have thought about it. ;-)
Your hair looks so cute!
Cheers Janet. :-)
I am watching and listening with my cup of coffee
Enjoy. :-)
Love the chat! As soon as the rain stops I’ll be out to the garden to search nasturtium seeds to give this a go, they sound delicious 🤤
Oh they are Katie! I hope you get a dry day soon....... :-)

The way to keep your jars from getting hard water deposits is to add vinegar tot he water. I do it in all my canning.
