This is an old Danish recipe from 1870 - 1880. Originally it was made of smoked fat instead of bacon and vinegar instead of Worcestershire sauce.

10 ounces smoked bacon
1 pound cooled, boiled potatoes
4 teaspoons butter
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup non-sweet beer
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 bay leaves
8 to 10 juniper berries
Salt and pepper
Finely-chopped parsley (for garnish)

Cut bacon into dices and the potatoes into slices.

Melt butter in a pot and add the sugar. Add bacon and fry until the meat is light brown.

Add the potatoes, beer, Worcestershire sauce and a little water and stir lightly. Add the bay leaves, juniper berries and a little salt and pepper. Let the stew simmer under cover for 20 minutes.

Season to taste with salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
