Juniper Berries
Juniper berries (Juniperus communis) are picked from an evergreen shrub. This shrub or small tree is found throughout the Northern Hemisphere. The blue-black seed cones, commonly known as "juniper berries", are relatively new to U.S. cooking, but have long been a staple of European dishes. The astringent flavor of the dried juniper marries well with seasonings, sauces and stuffing for meat, game and pork. It is often used in sausages and pâtés, and in sauerkraut. The berries should be crushed to bring out the flavor. Juniper also flavors gin as well as other spirits such as schnapps. In fact, the word "gin" is derived from the French word for juniper berry, "genièvre." The Slovak national alcoholic beverage "borovicka" is flavoured with juniper berry extract. In Finland, juniper is used as a key ingredient in making "sahti", a traditional Finnish ale.
Silver Cloud's juniper berries have a strong flavor and should be used sparingly. This is a spice that once you begin to use, you will find yourself reaching for it again and again.

Why Buy Your Spices at Silver Cloud
Estates?
Why buy spices online when they are so readily available at your local store? The answer is quality and price. The spices sold at your local store are often a year or two old. As spices age, they loose much of their flavor. Silver Cloud's spices are always fresh, never old. Our products are also an excellent value. When you need spices, click on Silver Cloud Estates for the freshest products at great prices.
