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 give it a berry-like appearance.

Berries of the Juniperus Communis are used to flavour the Dutch liquor 'Jenever'.

Juniper berries are also used to flavour meat dishes and sauerkraut.
