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

Very Fresh with minimal to no dried up berries. Most if not all berries plump and pliable and very aromatic. My Capicolas are very happy :))

Love them. I used them to make pastrami. These are high quality berries. I bought these in my local supermarkets before, but they were not as good as these, and also, the price is better. I use a lot of these because I make my own rubs for meats and I use them in brines for additional flavor. If you are looking for a nice quality Juniper berries, the Sausage Maker is the place to get them at.

Unable to find in stock locally. Honestly I’m glad they weren’t for what I’d pay for an ounce of Juniper berries locally I got a giant container full from SM.

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

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.
