If you end up really liking the juniper berries, Alys, I can get you as many as you want the next time I'm in eastern Oregon. Juniper is practically a weed in the interior.

So I've been doing some research on juniper berries (in a sidenote, be prepared to see an article on them on the clubs blog in the near future) and I've come up with two ideas that I really like. The first is to combine them with shallots and vermouth to cook a salmon in. I still am playing around with the best way to do this. The second is to use them with lemon and gin and some fresh herbs to marinate some halibut steaks.
In any case I can't use my juniper berries this week. My sister's home from college and has threatened to pitch a fit if I try to cook anything that she won't eat. And she's including juniper berries on the list of banned items. (She is probably the definition of the opposite of culinary adventurousness.)
I am really excited to see all these new dishes with some tips on making them. I would have a hard time finding nopales here, but depending on how your recipes come out, I might need to try.
I am a complete novice in Swedish cuisine, so I look forward to learning! The buns sound like the'd be delicious and I know what the next food I'm looking up during my lunch period will be! less

I'm sure you know this based on your research, but for everyone else, juniper "berries" aren't truly berries. They're actually cones. Maybe it's just me that finds that interesting.
