I did soak the juniper berries a day in about 1/4 cup of vodka before i did the meat. 6 days in ziplock in fridge with a daily roll over. Soaked 2 hours in fresh water, tested for salt...did 2 more hours in fresh water...on point. into fridge for 24 hours uncovered to dry and form pelicle then smoked over apple wood 3 1/2 hours till internal temp hit 150.
Sounds damn good my mouth is watering.
