Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon juniper berries, crushed
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
• 3 tablespoons gin
• 1/3 cup of safflower oil
• 2 shallots, minced
• 1 bay leaf, crushed
• 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
• 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped flat- leaf parsley

Whisk in the oil a little at a time. Add the shallots, bay leaf, thyme, and parsley.

Yield: 1 cup
