Looks good. The nice smell must be the juniper berries?

You need to let us know about the taste of the juniper berries. I had a old sausage maker years ago tell me that juniper berries was the secret in their sausage. I always thought that they smelled rather strong and have never used them.

I've never used juniper berries in sausage, but have in beef dishes (roasts, gravies & the like).
They can be overpowering in a dish (like SAGE), so one needs to not be heavy-handed.
They can add a 'piney' or 'herbal' savory note to foods.

I love 'em in gin, too.  ;)

These turned out really good. The 1/2 tsp juniper berries have a very mild taste.
