Description

Juniper berries have a unique flavor that’s both piney and slightly citrusy, with a subtle hint of peppery spice. You can crush some and add to pork, sauerkraut or even chicken salad. Also used to season Schinke speck, a German ham bacon roll. They are commonly used in cooking to impart a distinct earthy, aromatic essence, particularly in dishes like game meats, sauerkraut, and certain types of gin.
