The sweet and spicy flavor has become a recent favorite of chefs all over the world and it's taste is often described as a fruity flavor which makes it a wonderful compliment for fruit sauces, vinaigrettes, and even deserts. It has also been used as an ingredient in some Chilean wines, and as a flavoring in syrups. It should not be confused with its close relative, Schinus molle, which is poisonous. 
 
The pink peppercorn comes from a sprawling shrub that can grow quite large if the conditions are optimal. It has vine like branches with small white flowers and small pinkish red berries. It is native to tropical and sub tropical climates like South America, the Caribbean, Africa and many islands in the Pacific Ocean. It was introduced to Florida in the 1840's and has since become classified as a pest by the Exotic Pest Plant Council (EPPC). The berries are not true peppercorns, but are most often used as an exotic pepper substitute, and it may be found blended in conjuncture with other types of peppercorns in what is known as a Rainbow Pepper Blend. When eaten by themselves they have an almost tart taste with a slight sweet aftertaste.
