"Pink peppercorns are not actually peppercorns, but instead dried berries. They do have a peppery undertone, but their dominating flavors are citrus, floral, and fruity notes. A handful of crushed pink peppercorns can adorn a seafood or white pasta dish beautifully, but can also enhance your sweet treats. This is why using pink peppercorns in desserts like pumpkin pie can offer some texture and flavor that's consistent with the big, ultra sweet picture."
"Herbs don't get used in desserts often enough. One of the brilliant things about making a dessert out of vegetables, besides the incredible health benefits, is its great relationship to herbs that are typically considered savory. Sage, which has been a culinary staple for thousands of years, can help to enhance anything from pasta to cheese to lemon pudding. One of my favorite variations of pumpkin pie includes goat cheese and sage."
Pink peppercorns are dried berries with a peppery undertone and dominant citrus, floral, and fruity flavors. They can be used whole, crushed, or placed in patterns to add visual whimsy, texture, and a gourmet touch to desserts such as pumpkin pie. A handful of crushed pink peppercorns can also complement seafood or white pasta dishes. Sage pairs well with vegetable-based desserts and savory components like goat cheese. Fried sage becomes crispy and can serve as an unexpected, easy-to-make topping that enhances pumpkin pie and other dishes.
