Juniper berries , bluish-black in color, have a tart flavor, perfect for toning down strong foods , such as game and sauerkraut. The most popular preparations with this spice are meats, especially dark-skinned ones: wild boar, venison, fallow deer, hare, duck, pheasant, quail, but also sheep, goat, and guinea fowl.

Juniper is an ally to accompany them in the oven, but also on the fire and on the grill.

Juniper berries are also suitable for marinating raw foods or seasoning offal (liver, intestines, heart, lungs) during cooking.

Juniper is also widely used in the production of spirits and liqueurs . Simply ferment the berry juice and distill it to make juniper liqueur and juniper brandy, or alternatively distill the spirit from the berries to make gin, a word that derives from the Dutch "genever ," meaning juniper.
