CelebratingÂ Jon and Carol’s anniversaryÂ the other night at a local restaurant, I ordered the duck breast with blueberry sauce.Â It was great, but I thought it needed something to offset the sweet blueberry. Thyme is the answer.Â Destined to be one of my favorite dishes.

Directions:

2 Heat oil in a fry pan and fry each duck breast skin side downÂ of meat for aboutÂ 3-6 mins till browned but still pink inside. Remove from pan with slotted spoon and keep warm.
3 Place shallots, thyme and garlic into the pan and fry gently for 2-3 mins until translucent, add wine and jelly, stir well, reduce by half.
4 Mix in the blueberries and simmer for a few mins until the berries have burst, add the butter, take off heat and allow to melt. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5 Serve duck slicedÂ with sauce drizzled over the top and garnish with thyme flowers if available. Cheers!
