  2. In a deep heavy-bottomed saucepan, saut bird in oil until golden brown on all sides. Cover and cook slowly for 35 minutes. Uncover, skim off fat, and cook until bird is tender and juices run pink when thigh is pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes more.

  3. Remove pheasant to a serving platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm skim off fat from pan.

  4. Add shallots, juniper berries, and bay leaves. Saut until shallots are soft but not browned. Add gin and sherry and carefully ignite. When flames die down, add stock and reduce quickly over high heat to a light sauce consistency.

  5. Whisk in parsley and butter, if desired.

  6. Remove and discard trussing strings from pheasant. Carve bird into serving pieces. Pour sauce over and serve immediately.
