As we get to the start of the summer the flowers start to fall and tiny seeds (the ramsons) are left behind. These are what we use to make delicious, miniature capers that will allow us to enjoy the fruits of wild garlic for many months to come and help to bring our food to life even in deepest, darkest winter.

How do you make Ramson capers?

Directions
Take the ramson seed pods, remove all stalks, and rinse in a strainer.Put the seed pods in a container and mix with salt.Put the lid on, making sure it is airtight, and store in the fridge for a month. After a month, make the brine by boiling vinegar, water, and sugar in a pot.

Like the domesticated alliums, ramsons are edible and the leaves are an excellent addition to a cheese or pate sandwich. Carefully, pick a handful of leaves without uprooting the bulbs and blend or chop and use like garlic. You can also save the flowers as they make a beautiful edible decoration to savoury dishes.

What is the meaning of wild capers?

A goofy little joke or prank, a crime, or a ridiculous adventure is called a caper. Other kinds of capers might get you jail time because a caper can also be an outlandish crime spree, or a wild activity. Finally, capers are the very flavorful pickled flower bud found in Mediterranean cooking.

Add the wild garlic seeds and return to the boil, then quickly pour into sterilised jars and seal immediately. Store in a cool place for one month before using. They will last for one year.
