Elderberry Capers

• 500 g unripe, green elderberries

Day 1: Layer the berries in a tub with the salt and sugar. Pour the water over and leave for 24 hours.

Day 2: Bring the vinegar to the boil with the sugar and spices. Rinse the berries and cover with the vinegar. Ideally leave for a few weeks or months before using them.</
