I was intrigued by the report that the Ironworks Distillery
in Lunenburg had enlisted "local foragers to hunt for juniper berries
in the wild to produce its own gin". (Chronicle Herald, 26 March.,
p.C3; "Distiller scours the berry patch") I think only the Common
Juniper, Juniperus communis, has fruits that can be used for
gin. It's a low-growing, nearly prostrate shrub here, and doesn't
reach the taller shrub/tree size that it does in other areas. I
would think it would take a lot of foraging in abandoned fields and
rocky hillsides to collect a significant number of fruits, but I
don't really know what quantities would be required. Does anybody
have any thoughts on this?
Cheers,
