Just wonderful looking, and your photos are fantastic, as usual. This is something I haven't tasted (at least not that I know of).

I missed juniper berries. I can't seem to find it in Singapore. By the way, I love your photos - I think you have a wonderful eye and a talent for photography!

Ilva, your photographs are just so beautiful. Those berries!

When we lived in Colorado [almost in the foothills of the Rockie Mountains] we had an enormous juniper next to a bay window and every January flocks of chickadees would enter the tree and eat every single berry. It was fun to watch them.

Juniper is the berry in gin, yeah? I think. May have to look it up.

Your dish sounds interesting!

Kalyn-you might have, as Karina pointed out in her coment, this is the gin berry! I completely forgot that as I never drink it after a little bit too much of it in my youth....

MM-thank you ever so much!

Karina- You're so right, it's juniper berries in gin! How beautiful it must have been to live there, the Swedish junipers are so small and tawny! And thanks a lot for your kindness!

Oh, wow! You're right, I do learn something new every Weekend Herb Blogging post, especially from you. I've never tasted juniper berries before.
