Venison Marinade

Haven't made this yet, but Penzey's carries juniper berries. They are a very nice spice with venison

Great marinade. I used this recipe for venison burgers, omitting the olive oil, juniper berries and orange rind.

Since I didnt want to run all over town looking for juniper berries,I tried it with 1/3 cup of gin instead of the juniper berries and it was just ok. I think I can make a better marinade on my own but i will give it another shot if I find the berries.

Loved this marinade! I added a teaspoon of dark brown sugar, and have also used it to marinade beef steaks. I will be adding this recipe to my favourites!

Neighbors gave us some white tail deer venison and this is the first time I've ever made it. Followed this exactly except could NOT find Juniper berries anywhere - at the suggestion of fellow Zaar members used GYN instead and it came out great. I think next time I'll use Chef Rural's suggesiton and cook it in a crock pot - but DH and I both loved it. Thanks DiB's for posting.
