Depends on the recipe. Would a little gin work with the recipe?

It was just a general question. Every time I see these in a recipe, I start to wonder. I'll try to to remember your gin suggestion.

Ah. I subsequently ran across a venison stew recipe that called for them.
I rejected the recipe on the grounds that I didn't think my husband would
like the combination of spices, but I'll probably use the technique of
"marinate the venison overnight in dry red wine and onions".

I cannot remember where I got my juniper berries. It may have been the
Ann Arbor Herb and Spice Co-op. Shoot, it was probably 35 years ago.
Nowadays, of course, there's the WWW.

Hell we have them made by Spice Islands or some damn thing--it's in any
supermarket. But if I had to add it *right now* and had none, I'd let
it go.

Juniper berries are one of the spices included in pickling spice.
Penzeys sells juniper berries, a 2 oz bag/under $6.

Or use both in Rognons Liègeoise. Fry some pieces of veal kidney in butter
with a few crushed juniper berries. Then flambée with gin.

Another vote for gin.

Fresh spruce tips might be interesting.

I guess that depends on what you are doing with them. If it is just for
a little flavour you might be able to use a bit of gin.

I can't think of a substitute myself.

They last forever, so just get some and put them in a jar.

I would vote for letting it go..unless you are trying to make Gin. Aint no subbing allowed on that...or else it will still be Vodka.

I'd think about some gin, Kalmia. Depending on the recipe.

It computes just fine if you read the subject line.

Well, that's a valid point. The only thing I've ever made with juniper
berries was (IIRC) sauerbraten. Gin would probably work fine with
that.

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."

If you're no smarter than a C compiler, you probably should give
up right now.
