Hi Marlene – The capers hould be left as they are,, and rinsed of excess slat when used in cooking. Using brine is a totally separate process for preserving capers, and I find preserving in salt is easier to do.

When the process of preserving is finished after no.9 can vinegar or brine be added or not?

Hi Anita,

Nice post, I see capers all the time in Sicily, and would see them in salt, but never realized that it helps preserve them!

Nice blog, I found you on twitter. I’ll be surfing it some more.

thanks
Larry

@ Jenny Sounds like you had fun at the caper festival. Capers grow in other places in Italy – I have seen them growing out of stone walls in Tuscany – but they seem to be more prolific in Sicily.

I was lucky enough to be in Pollara for the Caper Festival recently but to be able to go for a walk and return with capers to cure yourself would be a real treat.
Oh to live in Sicily!
