For those who love strawberries:

From the leg of the game dealer is best to remove the bone and chop it into small pieces, peel off the rind of the pork as thin as possible. Put the meat in a saucepan and pour milk over it. Add thyme, crushed juniper berries (1), bay leaf spice and cloves and marinate for 2 days with the lid closed, turning occasionally.

Take out the meat and dry it. Rub with salt, pepper and chopped juniper berries (2). Preheat the oven to 220 °C. Foam oil and butter in a casserole, pour in the leg with the fat side down. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Rinse the shallots, young carrots and small parsley roots and remove the skin. Pour off the fat that escaped during roasting, add the bones and vegetables, reduce the temperature to 180°C. Cook the meat for about 1 hour, adding its own juices. If necessary, add a little water. Place the leg on a wire rack over a fat pan and rest for 10 minutes. Lift out vegetables and keep warm. Set oven to 250 °C, if possible turn on top heat.

Degrease the roast stock, add a small amount of water and make it hearty. Pour through a sieve and season with sherry. Brush the leg with honey and glaze in the hot oven in a few minutes. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper. Stir the drained gravy into the gravy.
