Recipe Spicy Paprika Beef Stew

^^^ They don't carry them at my smaller local Kroger, though they might at the big Kroger Marketplace.

I had to get them from a gourmet grocery we have nearby. I just got a new cookbook and was pleased to see a couple of recipes that call for them.
 
^^^ Yes, it's from that cookbook. Irritatingly enough, juniper berries aren't listed in the index, but I flipped through the recipes I have marked and found one for braised brisket that uses them.
 
I must keep a lookout for these as I've never used them either. Being a certain age, have to admit whenever I hear or see juniper berries mentioned I quite childishly think of that poor old nude guy in Life of Brian trying to keep his vow of silence.

^^^ I always think of the folk song "Copper Kettle:"

My daddy he made whiskey,
My granddaddy did too
But we ain't paid no whiskey tax
Since 1792

You just lay there under the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watchin' them jugs a-filling
In the pale moonlight
