Juniper Berries, the name is so sweet and yet comes with its infamous hangover when made into Gin
Juniper can be used in many ways, drinks, wines, deserts, and of course Gin
The berries make a wonderful introduction to any meat sauce/gravy providing a deep fruity flavour especially enhancing game meat, equally as good in any veg dish
Juniper berries are very pungent in flavour and should be used sparingly in any sauce - its always better to add but you can never take away

Juniper Berries - Quick Reference
What is it?: The dried berry-like cones of the juniper plant, widely used as a culinary spice and as the defining botanical in gin.
Flavour: Piney, resinous and citrusy with a dark, slightly bittersweet fruitiness.
Common uses: Game dishes, venison sauces, pork, sauerkraut, pickles, marinades, gravies, gin infusions and winter drinks.
Pairs well with: Venison, duck, pork, cabbage, beetroot, orange, rosemary, thyme and black pepper.
How to use: Lightly crush before cooking to release the aromatic oils. Start with only a few berries and remove larger pieces before serving if preferred.
Compare with: More resinous and forest-like than ordinary peppercorns, with enough fruit character to work in both savoury food and drinks.
Substitute: A small amount of rosemary with a strip of citrus peel can suggest the same direction, but will not reproduce juniper exactly.
Storage: Store whole and airtight away from heat and light; crush only when needed for the best aroma.
Good to know: Juniper is particularly effective with rich or strongly flavoured meats because its pine and citrus notes cut through fat without adding chilli heat.
