ISO: Juniper Berries for Curing

[Kooper]

Does anyone know where I can find juniper berries in East York or downtown for curing a pancetta or bresaola.

Thanks,

Thanks for the advice. Does anyone know if I can freeze them? Most of the recipes I have call for 6 berries or a tablespoon of berries. I highly doubt that the stores sell them in such small quantities.

Whole spices store several months in a tightly sealed container. It's the ground stuff that goes fast.

I bought mine at Bruno's on Avenue Road.

Herbie's Herbs also carries it (though, you might want to call to double check stock):

They have a product list so you can see what spices/herbs they carry. Also a price list but there is no quantity beside the Juniper Berries. I imagine most specialty spice stores would carry it too (i.e. I think there is a spot or two in Kensington Market).

Highland farms has them.

There's a spice place in Kensington too. Sorry, don't know the name.

House Of Spice on Augusta. That's where I got mine.

The Spice Trader (on Queen West) carries them, they are doing a 25% off sale on online sales right now though.
