Technically these are not berries at all! They are actually fleshy cones from a European conifer. The woodsy, pine-like aroma and flavor of juniper berries are a natural with game and usually found in European cuisine. To make a superb rub for moose, pork or venison lightly toast and crush berries in a morter with garlic and coarse salt (we like the Hawaiian pink salt).
Spices and herbs should be stored away from light, heat and moisture. However, storing spices in the refrigerator or freezer may actually shorten their shelf life and they risk picking up other food odors. In general, whole spices have a longer shelf life than ground spices. Depending on the spice and how well it is stored, a good rule of thumb is six months to a year for powdered spices and longer for whole spices and seeds. The best way to determine if your spices or herbs are still fresh is to close your eyes and sniff – if you cannot immediately tell what the herb or spice is, toss it!
