You could preserve them in oil:
1. Clean & slice 450g.
2. Boil in 300ml of water with 200ml wine vinegar for 8 mins.
3. Put in sterile, airtight jar(s) with half a cinnamon stick,
   6 peppercorns, 2 cloves, 1 garlic clove. 
4. Add a bay leaf & fill up with extra virgin olive oil (mild) 
5. Seal & keep in cool, dark place.

Looks pretty good, that! :-)
