This Blueberry Thyme Red Wine Reduction is a perfect sauce for pork, duck, chicken or any wild game (dove, venison, quail, pheasant, elk, etc.). It would also be great to add a little drizzle over a salad to brighten it up and give it some character.
If you want to make this with a duck breast, see cooking directions here.
