I've started to decant those ridiculous skinny jars of capers into a regular mason jar, the tiny size that holds about half a cup (I think). Much easier to scoop out what you need, if it's less than a whole jar!

I use a lot of capers. I buy the San Antonio jars - I think they are one pint.  The capers are exceptional in flavor. The only better ones I have ever tasted were the ones sold at the Italian market in the Valley where I shopped when I was still working and it was on my way home.  

They had about 10 varieties of olives and capers and caperberries in their fridge section.  

I have some olive tongs that I use to retrieve the capers from the jar.  The liquid drains off easily.  They are narrow enough to go into the skinny jars too.

 

Sorry, they are called "vegetable tongs" made by progressive. Mine are slightly different, earlier models.
