                        Spiced vinegar:
   2       qt           White wine vinegar
   2                    Shallots sliced
  60       g            Salt

  15       g            Each of ground mace and
                        -grated nutmeg

  Method: cover nasturtium pods with salted water for
  three days, changing water daily. Drain and dry them.
  
  Put spiced vinegar ingredients in a saucepan. Boil
  hard for 10 mins then allow to cool. Put pods in a jar
  layered with a few tarragon leaves and plenty of
  horseradish. Strain cold vinegar over seeds and cover.
  
  This makes about 4 kg of pickled pods. enough to last
  a lifetime I should think!
