Despite their name, juniper “berries” are actually seed cones from the juniper tree that have been dried. Perhaps most well known for their use flavoring gin, juniper berries also pair exceptionally well with game meats as their spicy pine flavor evokes the forest. In addition to their culinary uses, juniper berries are also believed to have medicinal and spiritual applications. They are thought to stimulate appetite, invigorate the body when soaked in the bath (the Greeks used them to increase stamina in Olympic athletes), and keep away evil spirits.
Applications: Add juniper berries to marinades (especially for venison, wild boar, Kurobuta pork, and duck) either whole or crushed. They can also be used in soups.
In addition to meat & poultry, juniper berries also pair well with herbs with resinous qualities like sage, bay leaves and thyme.
How to Store and Share: Store spices in opaque air-tight containers away from moisture. If grinding, do so just prior to use as pre-ground spices (and particularly juniper berries) lose flavor and aroma over time.
Specifications: These spices ship in quart size plastic containers. Each container has about 11 oz of juniper berries.
Shipping Method: UPS Ground
