VENISON WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE AND COLCANNON
I love this recipe with tenderloins, but backstrap or even a well-cut leg steak would work. And of course this will work with duck, goose, beef or lamb, too. You'll notice I use both clarified and regular unsalted butter here. I like the clarified because it has a high smoke point and is better for searing than regular butter; milk solids burn easily. You can buy it in many markets labeled as Indian ghee, or you can make your own. Or use another fat or oil. As for the mushrooms, I used dried morels. Any good dried mushroom will do. You want that mushroom soaking water, so don't use fresh mushrooms. Port wine can be a nicer kick in the sauce than red wine, but it's strong -- if you use Port instead of red wine, use only 1/4 cup. Finally, remember that this is a savory sauce, despite the blueberries (or huckleberries). If this is weird to you, add some sugar.

Steps:
- Take the venison out of the fridge and salt it well. Let it set on the cutting board while you rehydrate the mushrooms and boil the potatoes for the colcannon.
- Put the diced potatoes into a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Simmer until tender. Drain the potatoes and put them back in the pot. Turn the heat to low under the pot and let the potatoes steam for a few seconds.
- Beat in the butter, sour cream and chopped vegetables. You want nice mashed potatoes with green streaks. Add salt to taste, cover the pot, turn off the heat and set aside.
- Get a large saute pan and put 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter into it. Turn the heat to high and when the butter is hot, add the sliced onion. Saute over medium-high heat until browned along the edges, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the onions and set aside.
- Wipe the pan with a paper towel. Pat the venison dry and put the clarified butter into the pan. Set it over high heat until the butter is very hot, but not smoking. Add the venison and sear until medium-rare. If you don't know to tell when the meat is done, use the finger test for doneness. When the venison is done, move it to rest on a cutting board.
- Return the onions to the pan, add the mushrooms and garlic and saute over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often. Sprinkle some salt over everything and add the wine.
- Boil this down until it's almost gone, using a wooden spoon to stir up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the stock and mushroom soaking water (strain the water if there is any debris in it) and boil this down by two-thirds.
- Add the huckleberries or blueberries and cook another minute or two, Add black pepper, salt and vinegar to taste. If you want it sweet, add some sugar now; start with a teaspoon or two. Garnish with the rosemary.

A nice cozy meal for when the nights get colder. It is great with orzo and walnut pilaf! I just happened to have spare blueberry juice, but any juice would work.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat until the oil shimmers; gently lay the tenderloin into the hot oil. After about 1 minute, gently loosen the meat from the bottom of the skillet, if necessary. Cook until the pork is seared a golden brown color, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to the lined baking sheet.
- Roast the seared tenderloin in the preheated oven until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Remove the pork from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing into medallions.
- Cook the plums, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and blueberry juice in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the plums are soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the sauce to the saucepan and simmer until reduced and thickened to the consistency of apple butter, about 5 more minutes. Spoon plum sauce over the sliced pork to serve.

BLUEBERRY SAUCE FOR GRILLED BEEF STEAKS OR TENDERLOIN
I have not made this yet. Posting here for safekeeping as I lost the recipe once. Servings and times are a "guestimate". The only thing I remember about this recipe is that I gave it to a friend a few years ago who wanted to make an anniversary dinner for herself and her husband and they both raved about it. I'm not sure whether or not it was more from the flavor or the fact that she'd successfully cooked a meal that they both enjoyed. ***insert blowing raspberries smilie here in case she ever sees this***. LOL I don't see it on Zaar so I'm going to go ahead and make it public.

Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor, use ripe, fresh blueberries. Avoid frozen or canned blueberries as they can result in a less vibrant sauce.
- If you don't have port wine on hand, you can substitute it with another type of red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. However, port wine is preferred for its sweetness and fruity flavor.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe to suit your taste preferences. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add more sugar. If you prefer a tarter sauce, reduce the amount of sugar.
- If you want a smoother sauce, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before serving. This will remove any solids, such as blueberry skins or seeds.
- The blueberry port reduction can be made ahead of time. Simply let it cool completely and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to use, reheat the sauce over low heat until warmed through.
Conclusion:
This blueberry port reduction is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. Its sweet and fruity flavor pairs well with pork, chicken, and beef. It can also be used as a glaze for vegetables or as a topping for ice cream or yogurt. With its easy-to-follow recipe and stunning flavor, this sauce is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
