How To Use

Pink Peppercorns are ideal for accentuating dairy and cream-style dishes. Try stirring ground Pink Peppercorns into Blueberry and Lavender Ice Cream, or tossing them over Goat Cheese with Honey Habanero Marmalade for savory contrast. Blend some into the seasoned butter when making Honey Balsamic Pork Chops. Add to the marinade when making a rich, flavorful dish like Sichuan Cornish Hens.  They are delicious when ground together with sea salt, so try it on the rim of a margarita, or muddle the peppercorns into gin and enjoy a Pink Peppercorn Gimlet.

Pink Peppercorns are good with bacon, beef, bergamot, butter, chicken, citrus fruits, cream, garlic, onions, lemongrass, pineapple, pomegranate, strawberries, and fish. 

Pair Pink Peppercorns with spices and herbs like basil, cardamom, dried rosebuds, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, juniper berries, lavender, mint, rosemary, saffron, and vanilla.
