Flavor Profile

Juniper Berries taste sweet, woody, and astringent with notes of lemon and pine.

 

How To Use

Juniper Berries are used to flavor pork, so consider adding them to the pot when making Slow Cooker Pulled Pork. Crush and add to Turkey, Sausage, and Spinach Rice Bowl. Their sweet astringency makes them a natural balance for autumn flavors, so add some to Stuffed Acorn Squash or Savory Stuffed Mushrooms. They are also used in pâtés and sauerkraut. They are excellent in brines, like this salty-sweet Turkey Brine Seasoning.

Juniper Berries are frequently found in marinades, sauces, stuffing, pickles, beef, casseroles, duck, goose, pork, pot roasts, rabbit, seafood, and venison. They can also be used in sweet dishes such as fruitcake.

Juniper Berries pair well with cheese, apples, pickles, game meats, sage, bay, caraway, garlic, marjoram, pepper, rosemary and thyme.

Jumpin' Juniper! I've been using juniper berries in recipes for decades. They lend a special piquancy and sweetness, especially to meat dishes; and are a "must-have" ingredient for the Thanksgiving turkey brine, and my Colorado Hillbilly rub.
