caperberries
Brined Mediterranean garnish
Caperberries are the olive-sized fruit of the caper bush, harvested after the flower has bloomed and the berry has formed.
They're larger and milder than capers, which are the plant's pickled flower buds.
Caperberries are typically pickled with their stems attached and served as a garnish or appetizer: The martini came with a caperberry instead of an olive.
