Juniper Berries

Juniper Berries are most famously associated with the alcoholic beverage gin. The flavour is reminiscent of the forest and has a clean almost neutral but woody taste. Juniper berries are an effective counter to fatty foods like Pork and Duck. Juniper goes particularly well with venison and game. For this reason Juniper berries are often found in recipes for pates and terrines. Juniper berries are also use to flavour sauces that accompany rich meat & game dishes.
