Ingredients:

unopened wild garlic flower buds (about 1.5l)
12 black peppercorns
8 allspice berries
2 pinches of sea salt
12 mustard grains
1 garlic clove, finely sliced
800ml white wine vinegar

Method:

Wash the wild garlic flower buds and trim the stems. Dry thoroughly and set aside.

Take two 450g jars and divide the black peppercorns, allspice berries, salt, mustard grains and garlic between them then pack in the wild garlic flower buds.

Add the white wine vinegar to a pan and bring to a boil. Take off the heat, allow to cool slightly then pour over the contents of the jars, filling them to the brim. Secure with vinegar-proof lids, label then store in an cool, dark, cupboard for at least 2 months to mature.

Chop for use in salads, or use as a mild garlic replacement. These pickles are also excellent added to pestos or used to garnish fish.
