juniper berries taste like gin. or, to be more accurate, gin tastes like juniper berries. but yeah, that’s the only reason i remember what they taste like.

I went through the same thing when I first tried juhiper berries. I think it was in a savory dish, though, so good to know they’re a nice addition to this glaze. They look like they turned out nicely. Congrats for being back on track. I think I’m out of gas. Two days behind, or is it three? And only one night to bake between now and next week. Ugh.

Those look great! I’m also a combination of curious about & scared of the juniper berries. =)

Yeah…they are a bit odd. And the recipe didn’t specify fresh or dried, so my glaze may be more intense than even they called for. Ah well. A worthwhile experiment!
