A Simple Hack to Remove and Drain Capers

Brined capers are a pain to remove and measure—the jar opening is just too narrow for a spoon to fit inside. Get capers out of the jar without dumping out all of their brining liquid with this simple trick!

A Simple Hack to Remove and Drain Capers

Here's another solution—a melon baller! It’s small enough for the opening, and the hole in the bottom of the melon baller will allow the brine to drain away.
