RED WHITE AND BLUEBERRY SAUCE - Bonus Website Recipe!

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 large sweet yellow onions (e.g. Vidalia), sliced about 1/4 inch thick
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sugar, preferably organic
  • 1/4 cup golden sherry wine
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 1/2 cup seeded chopped fresh tomatoes

In a large skillet melt the butter over medium heat.  Add the onions, salt and pepper.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, but not mushy.

Add the sugar and cook until the onions are caramelized, which means the onions will become a deeper caramel color and will have a shiny appearance.  This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Add sherry, vinegar, blueberries, and tomatoes.  Bring to a boil and then immediately remove from heat.  Serve warm or at room temperature.  This makes enough sauce to serve 4-6 people.

Note:  This sauce is especially good with grilled pork or chicken, and also wonderful served with grilled salmon.
