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.

Flavor Profile
Dried juniper berries have a complex flavor profile, characterized by a combination of piney, slightly citrusy, and mildly peppery notes. They offer a distinctive herbal and earthy taste, with a hint of resinous sweetness.

Uses

      I use these in many of my homemade cured meat recipes. A good size container that should last a while and doubles as a storage container as some of the bulk spices I get come in non-resealable bags.

      I haven’t used them yet, but the container is very sturdy.

      It was a spice I couldn’t find in my area and found it on this site and I was exactly what I needed.

      Looking forward to adding this spice to several recipes. The Quality is obvious by the smell and feel.
