Juliet Bidwell creates a Blueberry, Shallot & Rosemary Sauce to accompany a roast chicken or roast duck

Very simple!

  1. Place all the ingredients in a saucepan and simmer gently for 45 minutes, until the shallots and blueberries are tender and the sauce is reduced and glossy.
  2. You can always add a knob of butter to make the sauce extra glossy.
  3. Serve with a roast chicken or duck.
