Keith B Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 I got an email from Sally at http://pepperberry.net.au/ and she said the freeze dried pepperberries (aka purple crack) were available again so I ordered a kilo of them. They are out for delivery today I have ordered from them in the past. They are easy to work with and the previous orders have been great. I need to keep this order locked up because as soon as my family and friends find out that I have resupplied they will be at my door looking for handouts! 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost exclusively purple crack berries. It does bleed a little purple color into your dish so I do have some white pepper corns for things like a cream sauce if I want it to remain bright white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrus Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Have tried it on a number of things with good result. It's an acquired taste , like a good Scotch. I've wondered how it would fair on brisket as a substitute for regular pepper doing it Texas style. Haven't pulled the trigger yet on this experiment, has anyone tried? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 I'm in the person that gave it the name Purple Crack after I tried it - the stuff is addictive!! I put it on a lot of stuff and the purple color can be cool sometimes, like on eggs! or on a chicken! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Ora Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 All system are GO. Ordered and payed for 3kgs today .thanks Keith .b for posting .last month Sally flicked me and email saying they had a limited supply and offered me fresh berries. I just asummed they did not have enough to air dry considering all the crap they have been through. And just forgot about it seeing as though I still have a stash. Lol. Price is up but understandable. Sent from my SM-T835 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done it on beef ribs and it holds its flare and taste. sure it would work on brisket .Sent from my SM-T835 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith B Posted May 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Aussie, I am jealous. Mine came wrapped in bubble wrap and not the newspaper like my last order. They were a fun read. Edited May 16, 2019 by Keith B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 @Aussie Ora - awesome, mate! See that your "maid" is back at work and cleaned out your email box, so I sent you a PM asking what you wanted me to ship you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Keith, Aussie and others, thanks for the heads up on this purple crack. I placed an order and it arrived today. I couldn't help myself, had to pop one whole. Tastes like wattle seed, the smell reminds me of the australian bush.... and gin....... Weird, almost has a juniper berry smell. What's amazing though, is I am drinking a cup of tea, and the next sip after popping a berry, my tea tastes like it has 3 teaspoons of sugar. My tea is black with no sugar. This tasmanian pepper berry changes your palate. The last time I experienced this was with some Miracle Fruit we used to grow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synsepalum_dulcificum When we popped this fruit then sucked on a lemon, it made the lemon taste like lemon sherbert. Red wine taste like port. They were using the miracle fruit in cancer wards where kids had to swallow very bitter medicine. The miracle fruit sweetened the medicine. Small relief. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basher Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Haha Thanks ckreef. I feel honoured. I've just been given a leg of venison to cook over the weekend. I'll have to smother it in purple crack and let you know how it goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you notice the slight numbing sensation, similar to cloves and Szechuan peppercorns? Yes, I've had the miracle berry. It's a very strange sensation, as well. As a cautionary note, go easy on it on that venison, as it is a quite strong flavor and can quickly overwhelm the food. Use it as you would fresh cracked black pepper or red chile flakes.
