Unable to find in stock locally. Honestly I’m glad they weren’t for what I’d pay for an ounce of Juniper berries locally I got a giant container full from SM.

Love them. I used them to make pastrami. These are high quality berries. I bought these in my local supermarkets before, but they were not as good as these, and also, the price is better. I use a lot of these because I make my own rubs for meats and I use them in brines for additional flavor. If you are looking for a nice quality Juniper berries, the Sausage Maker is the place to get them at.
