What are Capers? / How to make caper butter

If you've ever had a bagel with smoked salmon, you've most certainly had a caper. Capers are the buds of the caper plant, and are most commonly sold brined in a solution of vinegar and salt. They're savory, salty, and slightly bitter, and pair beautifally with salads, pastas, and fish. ; In today's What's This Food?!, we turned capers into a butter, perfect to use on fish and pasta. This episode of What's This Food was sponsored by http://brooklynslate.com, manufactures of beautiful slat cheese boards and coasters.
