A Quebec caper? Why not? Swollen with the promise of a yet-to-come flower, the daisy buds are harvested and marinated to produce this condiment which will surely have your guests talking. No ‘loves me’, ‘loves me not’ in this case. It’s ‘loves me’,’ loves me passionately’ for everyone. The extremely popular salty and pepery buds blend in with any dish that uses capers.
Imagine the patient hands and nimble fingers required to harvest these small flowerbuds. Before the flower opens, when the bud is still firm and no petal is peeping out, we go over older fallow fields in search of this precious product.
The flowerbuds are then blanched and put into jars with a light brine of salt and cider vinegar. This is a very sough-after product that was created more or less by accident during a dinner with friends.
