Do you like capers (Capparis spinosa)?! You can grow caper bush in the low desert climate like in Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona. This amazing Mediterranean plant is not only beautiful in your garden, you can pickle the buds, berries and leaves with my simple pickling recipe. I will also show you one of my favorite ways to enjoy the pickled caper.
Note: I am sorry that I forgot to mention, you can start eating the pickled caper berries 6-8 weeks after the last batch of fresh berries are put in the jar.

Thank you so much! We love capers and did not know anything about them. You have changed our world!

@EpicYardFarm Месяц назад

So glad that I was able to share the info I have learned with you. Thank you so much for watching!

I live in Sun City and have four Caper plants. Two are three year olds and two are one year olds. This is the first year I have had enough capers and berries to brine. I am trying some with white wine vinegar and some with apple cider vinegar. I am also trying some with just salt and some in just salted water. I am experimenting with both berries and buds.

@EpicYardFarm 2 года назад

It is great to experiment! I am sure they will all turn out excellent. I find the vinegar/water/salt solution to be the least amount of effort and no fail. But I think I will try the salt or salt water method when I know I won't be traveling as much. You can also pickle the young leaves!

Thank you, I have a bunch to pickle and didn’t know how. This video was very informative. I also didn’t know they got hard seeds. I definitely left mine on the plant too long but I’m going to try anyways!

@EpicYardFarm 6 дней назад

So glad you find the video helpful~ Good luck with your caper berry pickles!

Great video 👍🏼 How cold do your temperatures get in Winter that the plants die back?

@EpicYardFarm Месяц назад

So sorry for my delay on responding! We regularly get down to 28 degrees at night in the winter.

@terencedillon5419 Год назад

Great video, I have 2 plants that are flowering now and producing berries so I will use your recipe to start pickling them as they come through. Both plants are growing in homemade wicking pots, I use a hydroponic nutrient to feed them (as I also grow hydroponically)and the love the constant supply of wick moisture and good nutrient. I'm wondering if they could be cloned, Im interested in doing some experiments using cloning balls to build up my crop. Thanks again,😀

@EpicYardFarm Год назад

Thank you for sharing your growing method! Yes, they can be vegetatively cloned! I believe you can also clone from the root. Hopefully you give it a try!

Hi, you're letting them grow a little too big, you can pick them up a week earlier. That's when they have the highest myercetin content.

@EpicYardFarm Год назад

Oh! Good tip. I did not know they should be harvested sooner. Thanks!

@abc_cba Год назад

@@EpicYardFarm yes, they should be ⅛ the size of what you're plucking them at ! That when they're loaded with most phytonutrients.

@Noam-Bahar Месяц назад

What do the caper berries look like when they're ripe? Are they edible fully ripe?

@EpicYardFarm Месяц назад

They are not edible without processing using similar methods to what I have shown in the video. Kind of like olives. When they are fully ripe and the seed pod open, the seeds inside will be too hard to consume.

@philkeshish5834 Год назад

Can we use non-distilled water? just plain drinking water?

@EpicYardFarm Месяц назад

I think if you use plain drinking water, it is ok, but I would recommend leaving the drinking water overnight to air out the chlorine so it does not affect the taste of the solution.

@donaltman9780 Год назад

Did you grow these from seed?

@EpicYardFarm Месяц назад

Sorry for the delay on responding. The grower I purchased the original plant from did grow these plants from seeds. It has to be very fresh seeds to have good success.
