Juniper sauce with wild boar and venison
Juniper berries have a long tradition as a spice for game dishes - and also taste in high-percentage drinks. Juniper berries grow on a softwood shrub that can grow up to 800 years old.
The berries are first green, then purple-black, then they are ripe. They are good for digestion, there are also many schnapps that are made from it.
In the fairy tale, the juniper tree was referred to as supernatural powers; it was called the almond tree.
