Although Juniper is probably most widely known as the main flavour in gin, it is also an important culinary spice.

Product Details

About Hambleden:
Hambleden Herbs is a long established organic brand with a reputation for high quality products and efficient, friendly service. Their products have won many awards over the years, a recognition of the quality of the Soil Association certified organic herbs, spices, teas and tinctures which have always been their speciality.

Life for Hambleden Herbs began back in 1982 on an organic herb farm in the small village of Hambleden in the Oxford shire countryside. In 1985 our dried herb range was launched and at the time was the only certified organic range of dried herbs in the UK. With the launch of our organic herbal tea range 4 years later, Hambleden Herbs was fast becoming the brand of choice for the informed consumer.

As interest in organic ingredients increased demand soon outstripped available supply from the farm and the business had to look further a field to secure supply of top quality, certified, organic ingredients. This resulted in a new focus for the business, and a new company being set up to specialise in the sourcing and importing of raw materials. Although the two businesses now operate separately, they continue to use some of the same suppliers that they did 20 years ago, and still call on the wealth of expertise and knowledge of their old partner.

Today Hambleden Herbs continues to hold true to its values of “Purity, Vitality and Integrity”, using them to inspire new blends of teas, herbs and spices that will excite and awaken your senses.

Usage

When used in cooking, juniper gives a refreshing, sharp, piney flavour to foods and is particularly good at cutting through fatty meats such as duck or pork. It is also excellent when added to any hearty stew or casserole, rich with bacon, mushrooms and red wine, and compliments a venison dish especially well.

For an average size stew serving 4-6 people we would suggest using 3 or 4 crushed berries. Always crush the berries to release the flavour, and do not be tempted to add too many berries as the flavour can be overpowering if too many berries are used.

Ingredients

Organic juniper berries
