Basic Venison Marinade

Ingredients

4 tablespoons of as good a quality of oil as possible
2 tablespoons red win – if no excuse to open a bottle, then the equivalent of dry sherry or even red wine vinegar will do.
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon juniper berries, crushed
½ clove of garlic, crushed
Salt and pepper

Method

Combine all ingredients and beat well or shake in a screw-top jar. The marinade will keep in the refrigerator for weeks and can be increased or decreased in proportional quantities.
