juniper berries

A juniper berry is the female seed cone produced by the various species of junipers. It is not a true berry but a cone with unusually fleshy and merged scales, which gives it a berry-like appearance. The cones from a handful of species, especially Juniperus communis, are used as a spice, particularly in European cuisine, and also give gin its distinctive flavour. Juniper berries may be the only spice derived from conifers.

    Recipe Gravlax

    As I mentioned in the Challenge thread, I was inspired by Hemulen; specifically, I was fascinated by the Ceviche propio de Hemulen. I wondered how seemingly aggressive flavors would play on a fish. I thought about making that exact recipe (and I think I will someday), but I decided instead to...

    Recipe Juniper Berries Flavoured Stewed Octopus

    Getting a very soft octopus and not chewy takes time, in fact the trick is all in the resting time after cooking octopus: the longer it rests the more tender the octopus will become. The juniper berries then will release even more of their aroma and you will be in Sardinia. Serves 4...

    Recipe Cauliflower and Egg Mornay with Juniper Berries

    The resiny pine taste of juniper berries adds piquancy to the mild nutty cauliflower and lifts the egg’s low sulphurous notes. Enrobed in a creamy mornay sauce, this dish is warming autumn/winter comfort. I like to make this in individual cast iron skillets. The mornay sauce is made with Gruyere...

    Recipe Detroit River Blues Gin

    I based this recipe on one posted on Serious Eats. I couldn't find cardamom pods (I know a place 40 miles from my house that had them, but didn't feel like making the drive). I also couldn't find chamomile or lavender anywhere, and didn't want to mail order them, so I used the lavender/chamomile...

    Recipe Black Beans in Brown Ale

    I usually cook black beans in a spicy Mexican style sauce but wanted to try something different. Slow cooked beef in brown ale is a traditional British way to cook beef and here and I set about trying to re-create something of that deep and dark savoury taste in a vegan bean dish. Juniper and...

    Recipe Cabbage Wedge Stuffed with Juniper Butter 'en Papillote'

    This is a lesson in how to make healthy cabbage ‘unhealthy’ but delicious. Cooked ‘en papillote’ the green outer leaves of the cabbage stay green and flavours are intensified. The caramelised cut edges provide umami flavour and juniper adds a hint of pine forest. Serve on its own with some...

    Recipe Braised Fennel with Mushrooms, Juniper and Sage

    This was a genuine experiment - I had a hunch that juniper berries might work with fennel. I munched on a piece of raw fennel with a juniper berry squashed and rubbed on top. Oh my - that works, I thought: the delicious conifer notes of juniper with the slightly sweet aniseed fennel is magical...
