Enjoyed this very much. I liked the added flavor that the juniper berries brought to this dish. Delicious. :)

Just delicious is right!! I didn't have any butter in, so used Becel with olive oil, worked very nicely. Also had to leave out the juniper berries, to hard to find. The apples , lemon juice, rosemary and parsley was a great combination, we very much enjoyed and will be making it again, thankws for posting.
