Juniper

This is Mike and Denice's Juniper. It is a huge planting of Juniper. I love seeing the blue berries.
Did you know that some species of Juniper berries are used to flavor gin? Interesting. And some species of Juniper berries are used to flavor strong, or wild meats. We have used Juniper berries in marinades, even for fish. Juniper has an interesting taste, albeit not to everyone's liking. Sometimes, we just add a little gin.
Before you go snitch some of Mike's Juniper berries, I suggest you look up recipes on HOW to identify the right kind of berries to use. There are lots of different species of Juniper, so do the research if you want to make your own gin, or marinades.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
