Capers come from a spiny, prickly shrub called a caper bush (scientific name capparis spinosa) which is native to the Mediterranean. The capers themselves are the unopened flower bud. The bush apparently looks a little like a rose bush but is related to the cabbage family.
Capparis Spinosa, Latin. Caper bush.
As capers come packed in brine, they require a kosher for Passover certification. However, because the brine used for capers has vinegar in it, it is not possible to find brands that are kosher for Passover. If you could find fresh capers, they can be eaten.
Take 2 cups of capers, and 1 cup each of water, sugar and cider vinegar, and 1/4 cup salt. Wash and drain capers, mix salt and water, and pour over capers in jar. Cover and let stand for two days. Drain capers and pour into sterile glass jar. Heat sugar and vinegar to boiling point , pour over capers and seal. This will make one pint. Eat them whenever you like.
