The recipe I use to make vegan corned beef calls for juniper berries, which I happen to have a great supply of at my homestead. The bushes I harvested them from are what I have always called cedar trees, but it turns out they are actually junipers. (Here's a great article about the difference if you are interested):

These little beauties are drying now, but soon I will pop about four of them in each batch of the "corned beef." Yes, only four of them. They do make a slight difference in taste, but it's a nice little difference. I have yet to use the berries in anything else, and I'd be glad to hear from any of you who use them. I learned from the article above that they are used to make gin! :)
