SC - juniper berries

[Thomas Gloning]

<< Umm, just out of interest, were juniper berries used in period & if
so, what original sources call for their use. >>

Among the German sources there are:
- -- the Rheinfraenkisches Kochbuch (c. 1445)
- -- the Kuechenmeisterei (1485ff)
- -- the Alemannisches Buechlein von guter Speise (15thC)
- -- the cookbook of Philippina Welser (c. 1545)
- -- the cookbook of Sabina Welser (c. 1553)
- -- the cookbook of Marx Rumpolt 1581
- -- medical and dietetic texts like that of Seitz (16thC) and Huebner
(1588/1603)

The old names are "krametber", "wacholderber" or "reckolterber" and
their spelling variants.
