I found out that a few juniper berries added a lovely extra flavour to my casseroles and even to some curries; the supermarket little screw-top jars were being emptied rather quickly, but this pack of Spanish berries will keep me going for a year at a fraction of the cost. Remember to keep any empty jars so you can decant these for easy use; better, too, to stick the bulk of them into a large airtight container for main storage to keep them dry and fresh. Delivery was very quick. Can't fault them. Steve Riches, Northampton, UK.

Flavours plain spirit very well when you add a piece of cinnamon
