Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh blueberries to the pan and stir to combine.
Pour in the balsamic vinegar, honey, and water, stirring gently to coat the blueberries.
Sprinkle in the chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and the sauce thickens slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed, by adding more salt, balsamic vinegar, or honey to balance the flavors.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a topping for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a dip for crusty bread.
