Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 shallot , finely minced*
  • 3/4 cup red wine
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper , optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the shallots and saute until soft, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the red wine, blueberries, thyme, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar and kosher salt. Bring to a low simmer, stirring every so often. Reduce by half, approximately 10-15 minutes. Sauce will be thinner than you'd expect and will start to thicken and become syrupy as it cools.
  4. Remove the sauce from the heat, fish out the thyme sprigs and set aside to cool.
  5. Add the freshly ground pepper at this time, if desired.
  6. If you've tried this recipe, come back and let us know how it was in the comments or star ratings!
