Details

Juniper berries have always been in great demand at the peak of the game season, for their primary purpose is to flavor wild game. They have a tart flavor which cuts back some of the gaminess of venison. In European countries, juniper berries are a necessity for marinades for wild boar, venison, and pork dishes; and are often used in stuffing for all types of fowl. Their flavor was also popular with the American Indians in the Pacific Northwest, who crushed the berries and cooked them with wild buffalo. They may be thrown in a stew and, of course, into sauerbraten or sauerkraut. While you wait for your stew to finish simmering, make sure to have a gin and tonic topped with a few juniper berries.

Customers love the bright, piney flavor and heavenly aroma, saying just a few berries add the right touch to marinades, sauerkraut, cabbage dishes, carnitas, and roasted game birds. Many mention how well they complement pork, rabbit, and lamb, helping tame gaminess, while others use them to deepen homemade gin-style infusions, pickles, and fermented vegetables.

The flavor is bright and it pops in marinades and overall yumminess

I never go wrong with spices from The Spice House

These juniper berries were perfect....they were not rock hard and have the most heavenly aroma. They took me back to my Dutch Oma's kitchen as a kid. I made a recipe handed down from her to my mom that called for just 4 of these, and the flavor was perfect. I always love ordering from The Spice House...the cinnamon varieties, the beautiful nutmeg, Turkish bay leaves that have an actual scent. Everything is always flavorful. I love that I can order the flat packs so that they stay fresh.

Excellent quality

Excellent quality. Will purchase again. Very fresh

I bought these to add to "Free Spirits" which is a non - alcoholic simulated gin. I didn't think their product was quite on the mark, so I added juniper berries, let it sit for a week and think I improved the "Spirit of Gin" just enough!

A unique flavoring

Always great to use in sauerkraut and other cabbage dishes
