Venison Roast with Juniper Berry Rub image

I found this while researching PNW foods/recipes. It can be found in 'Where People Feast - An Indigenous Peoples' Cookbook'. By Dolly and Annie Watts. Published by Arsenal Pulp Press, Vancouver (www.arsenalpulp.com). Juniper berries have a bittersweet pine flavor with a peppery aftertaste.
