Barberries

Post #1 - March 29th, 2016, 2:49 pmI did a search and found a fair number of mentions of barberries decorating dishes eaten in various places, but I didn't see anything about using barberry. They sell dried, ground barberries from Georgia (the one near Russia) at a couple of my local stores, packaged in shakers like other spices. Intrigued, I bought them. But before I just make up a use for this seasoning, I thought I'd ask if anyone here has cooked with this stuff and has recipes or suggestions or thoughts or recommendations.
So what do you do with dried, ground barberry?"All great change in America begins at the dinner table." Ronald Reagan

Post #4 - March 31st, 2016, 5:41 amThere are several Ottolenghi recipes that use barberries, usually in dried form. You can search the Guardian or Ottolenghi sites for recipes if you don't have the cookbooks.

The recipies I have seen use whole dried barberries, not powdered. I subbed "craisins" though I'm sure it was a pale substitute. If anyone sees whole ones, that would be nice to know where to find them!Leek

Post #7 - March 31st, 2016, 5:28 pmAny decent-sized Persian market should have them. I got mine at the Pars Store on Clark. Probably Peyvand (the little place near Larsa's) should have them, too. Not cheap.

I made barberry jam from the barberry fruits on my bushes. It has a rosehip quality to it.

For some reason, that doesn't surprise me.
(That you made jam, that is.)
