Farm By Nature Juniper Berries 500g

The aroma of juniper berries is pleasantly woody with hints of turpentine, and unmistakably like gin. The taste is clean and refreshing with notes of pine, resin, and gin. Culinary uses   Juniper is an important spice in many European cuisines, especially in Alpine regions, where it grows abundantly. It is a key component for the Southern German specialty sauerkraut. Since juniper berries have a strong taste, they should be used sparingly. They are an ideal seasoning for meat stews or marinades for meats (especially game) that are going to be roasted or barbecued. Crushed in a mortar with garlic and rock salt, juniper berries make a tasty rub for lamb, pork, and venison. Crush juniper berries just before using, as their essential oils are quickly lost when in contact with the air.
