Fresh and pretty
Brilliant. I used these in some pickled carrots, but have been told theyre good crushed and sprinkled on cookies too. They smell lovely, different to black peppercorns, with some sweetness. And they look so pretty!
Think back to that pepper tree in your schoolyard: this little berry is from a very close relative, yet is not the true pepper we generally consume alongside its companion, salt. Pink Schinus Pepper carries less heat, yet more camphoric and sweet characteristics than normal pepper. It is used widely in Mediterranean fish dishes and, much like juniper berries, matches well with game meats. Also known as: Schinus Pepper
