Fruity, sweet, and soft, Brazilian pink peppercorns are a delight. Not true peppercorns, these berries are related to cashews (tree nuts) and are harvested from the evergreen Peruvian pepper tree. Given their delicate nature, pink peppercorns are never ground. Use them whole on fresh fish and in salads. Pink peppercorn sauces with a fruit component are delicious on vanilla ice cream.
