Spruce Grouse With Blueberry Sauce

Ingredients

• 8 partridge breasts (and any other meat you can manage to salvage)
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 cup blueberries
• vegetable oil
• salt and pepper

Directions

1. 1

   In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and saute onion for about 2 minutes. Cover, lower heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until onion is soft.

2. 2

   In a separate heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt sugar until it caramelizes. Add vinegar, stirring well. Add to blueberry-onion mixture and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated and a glaze remains. Keep warm.

3. 3

   Season grouse breasts with salt and pepper. Saute on both sides in vegetable oil over medium heat until cooked through. Do not overcook, as they will become dry.
