Ingredients

• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 medium red onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely dice the red onion into small pieces.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the saucepan and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the blueberries and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften and start to burst.

Step 5

Add maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Pour in the water to prevent the mixture from sticking and to create a slightly saucier consistency.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer the mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or maple syrup for sweetness.

Step 9

Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature with your dish of choice.
