Green peppercorns can be found brined, in little jars like capers. While the most famous dish, "steak au poivre vert," from France, is savory, the milder taste of the green peppercorn goes well with fruit and other, slightly sweet dishes.
Strawberries go well with this spice and a simple marinade makes a fancy dessert for guests. Served with cream, yogurt or over ice cream, you will find that many of your German friends are very familiar with this recipe.

What a coincidence! The newspaper just had a recipe for “macerated” strawberries with black peppercorn. I love both but can’t imagine them together. Still, it’s worth a shot! I think they’d taste great with salt, too, or some other herb like tarragon.
