Ingredients:





     1    Caribou roast


          Strips of bacon


          Marinade:


     1 md Onion; chopped


     6    Peppercorns


     2 cl Garlic; minced


     1 md Parsnip; diced


     2    Ribs celery; chopped


     1 c  Cider Vinegar


     1 c  Beef bouillon


     1 c  Gin






 Combine all the marinade ingredients except the gin.  Bring to a boil and


 simmer about 5 minutes, remove from the heat, add gin and cool. Place


 roast in


 marinade to cover. Let stand refrigerated for 48 hours or more.


 


 Remove from the marinade; place on a roasting rack in a large roasting pan


 and drape with bacon. Roast uncovered in a preheated 350 degree F. oven


 for 15


 min per pound. Remove the bacon for the last 30 minutes of cooking and


 baste


 roast with the strained marinade and pan drippings.


 


 Remove the roast and let sit 5-10 min before carving. With a little butter


 and


 flour make a gravy from the pan drippings and balance of the marinade.


 


 The gin is juniper flavored alcohol and juniper is a traditional game


 flavoring. The gin works quite well if you don't have any whole juniper


 berries available.
