Description: These berries are used fresh or dried and then crushed to impart a sharp, savory, pine-like flavor to food. They have been used in northern European and Scandinavian cuisine mostly in meat dishes and sauerkraut. These refreshing juniper berries are excellent for balancing rich, gamey or fatty food. They complement beef, fish, lamb, wild game, pork and cabbage dishes and work well with other spices, especially thyme, sage, oregano, marjoram, bay leaves, allspice, onion and garlic.
