Green Beans and Radish Pods.

Take young French or “string” beans, and radish pods just before they change color; green and pickle as you do cucumbers and gherkins.

Nasturtium-seed. ✠

Take the green seed after the flower has dried off. Lay in salt and water two days, in cold water one day; pack in bottles and cover with scalding vinegar, seasoned with mace and white pepper-corns, and sweetened slightly with white sugar. Cork, and set away four weeks before you use them.

They are an excellent substitute for capers.
