POV: your holiday weekend plans are rained out so you decide to stay in and cook with juniper berries.

Juniper berries have a pleasant, slightly sweet flavor with a piney-floral aroma. So they’re ready to comfort you when your “summer kickoff” will be cold and rainy.

Fun fact: Botanically, juniper berries are actually the cone (not a berry!) from a juniper tree or bush.

Good juniper berries should still be fresh enough to be smashable with a fork, kind of like raisins. The flavor and aroma are on the inside, so crushing them slightly before you cook with them will help bring out all the flavor.
