Crack Whole Peppercorns and rub onto meat and grill. Add this vibrant spice to barbecue sauces, stir-fry, soups, egg dishes, baked goods, and seafood. Use whole Peppercorns in soups, marinades, vinaigrettes and stews.
Recommended Preparation Instructions:
Pepper is best when ground fresh just before use. Another option is to tie peppercorns in a cheese cloth bag and drop into a simmering soup or stew. Remove spice bag before serving. Pepper loses its flavor during long-cooking periods, so add at the end.
