Heart to Hearth Cookery

After half a pint of white wine vinegar has been poured for the gravy of the receipt (recipe) To roast a Shoulder of Mutton a handful of capers are added.  Capers are the unripened green buds of the caper bush (Capparis spinosa) which is a prickly perennial native to the hot, dry areas of the Mediterranean and has whitish pink flowers.  The immature buds are first dried and then pickled.
