Anise is a member of the Umbelliferae family which also includes fennel, caraway, coriander and dill, to name a few. It requires a long, warm, frost-free growing season of at least 120 days, and thrives in poor, dry soil. Growing to a height of 18 inches, the plant features small white flowers in early summer. The seeds appear in late summer and are light greenish-brown to brown when dried. Although the seed has an aroma and flavor reminiscent of licorice, the two are completely unrelated.

 

Suggested Uses: Anise seed is used extensively to flavor liquors, cookies, cakes, fruit dishes, coleslaw, rye bread, apple pie and meats. It also makes a wonderful addition to teas. The warm, sweet flavor of anise is enjoyed in a variety of ethnic cuisines, including those of the Middle East, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and Portugal. Around the world, it's used in liquors and cordials--such as Turkish raki, Latin American aguardiente ("firewater"), Greek ouzo, Spanish ojen, and French anisette. (You might try a simple bedtime toddy of warm milk with anise.) In the kitchen, anise seed flavors cakes, cookies, cheeses, fruit pies and salads, rye breads, meat dishes, soups, dressings, stews, and fish sauces. Try it in cottage cheese, baked apples, coleslaw, cream cheese, pickles, and egg dishes. It's often a component in blends for curry and hoisin, and you'll find it in German springerle, Italian biscotti, licorice candies, and Italian sausage and pepperoni.
