Juniper berries are the small, dark purple to blue-black berries of the juniper tree (Juniperus species), and they’re known for their distinct, aromatic flavor. They have a sharp, slightly piney taste with hints of citrus and pepper, making them a great addition to savory dishes, especially in European cuisine. They're often used in marinades, sauces, and stews, especially with meats like pork, venison, and game birds. Juniper berries are also famously used to flavor gin, contributing to its signature taste.
When using whole juniper berries, it’s common to lightly crush or bruise them to release their oils and intensify their flavor. They can also be used in pickling or even in making flavored oils or vinegars.
