I have found dried pimento berries, but not fresh. Here is the recipe that I found for pimento liqueur, which calls for fresh pimento berries but seems to me that it could be adapted for dried. Country Style Pimento Liqueur 11/2 qrts ripe pimento berries 4 lb. of sugar 2 qrts. of water 1 qrt. of rum 3/4 lb. of cinnamon sticks 1 pt of lime juice. Place the berries in the rum and lime for three days. Crack the cinnamon and boil in 2 quarts waters. Strain and boil with 4 lb. of sugar for 10 minutes. Squeeze out the berries and add the syrup when cold. Strain through clean muslin cloth and bottle.
