Cooking Substitute for juniper berries.
"Juniper berries are a part of the cone of a Juniper species of tree.
They are used for cooking, alternative medicine and the making of gin.
Juniper berries are not really berries; they are the reproductive part
of the cone and are blue when fully ripe. Many recipes call for
juniper berries as one of the ingredients, but many cooks do not have
them stocked on the pantry shelf. You can substitute other herbs and
spices and even gin for the juniper berries if they are not
available."
