Author Notes: I love blueberries and wanted to develop a recipe that would work as a condiment to enjoy with pork tenderloin or roast chicken. After some experimenting, I came up with this combination of spice and citrus to balance against the sweetness of the berries. - Lizthechef
Serves 1 1/2 to 2 cups, depending on size of berries
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large shallot, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon thyme (any fresh thyme), chopped
- zest and juice of one Meyer lemon (or any lemon)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger root, peeled and finely grated
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 pinch cayenne
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 cups blueberries
- Using a medium-sized saucepan, heat the oil and cook the shallot until limp. Add remaining ingredients, except for the blueberries, and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the berries, reduce heat to low, stir gently and cook berries until they release enough juice to create a sauce but still retain their shape. This takes about 10 minutes.
- Serve immediately.

Hey Liz...great recipe (as usual!) . I love purple teeth myself...it is a occupational hazard of making and drinking lots of red wine! I love blueberries and this is what is called a "rock star recipe. It will be perfect to accompany pork loin. I also love "listening" to you describe your canning adventures.

I suppose it is great fun serving what will also give everyone very blue mouths.
I would use raspberries.
Or serve blueberries as an unforgettable dessert in a deep plate with sugar and plenty of half and half milk.

Is this constructive criticism? My guests had no such thing as a "blue mouth". Sorry you were disappointed with my recipe. When we have guests in our home, I assure you that their comfort and happiness is the point of the occasion.

That sounds just fine, parisienne. Why don't you submit your own recipe? You've obviously been inspired by Lizthechef's delicious recipe.
