Whole Juniper Berries are the main ingredient for flavoring most gin, as well as other liqueurs. Their flavor is intensely spicy with a hint of pine. Juniper berries are also great to crush and use as a rub for grilling or roasting gamier meats, as they tend to help reduce the gaminess as well as add a nice tartness flavor. Juniper berries are also great to use in marinades and sauces.

Flavor Profile

Juniper berries are intensely spicy with piney notes and pair well with caraway, garlic, marjoram, pepper, and rosemary.

How to Use

Use juniper berries to enhance flavor (crushing them releases their oils). Add whole juniper berries to marinades and sauces. Rub ground juniper berries over meat before grilling or roasting. Often used for game meat.

About The Spice

Juniper berries are the ripe, dried cones from the Juniper evergreen shrub which grows throughout the northern hemisphere. The berries are about a quarter-inch wide and bluish-purple.

More Information
