In the ancient Rome, juniper berries were the expensive alternative to pepper.

Today, this bluish fruit of a small, thorny bush is an affordable and unconventional option to traditional pepper.

The distinctive aroma is slightly sweet and prickly.

Crush the berries before using to unleash the full flavor and fragrance. Works well in marinades - especially for beef and game, and is also used in the distillation of gin.
