Rinse the fresh caper buds thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
Soak the capers in cold water for 3-5 days, changing the water daily to reduce bitterness.
In a saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.
Place the drained capers into a clean glass jar, layering them with garlic, black peppercorns, bay leaves, and mustard seeds.
Pour the hot pickling liquid over the capers, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then seal the jar and refrigerate for at least one week before consuming.
The pickled capers will develop a richer flavor over time and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two months.
