BLACKBERRY ONION RELISH
1 pint fresh blackberries
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar or to taste
1 tablespoon red wine
1/2 cup beef broth
Kosher salt to taste
Large pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Generous pinch of brown sugar
Generous pinch of chopped thyme, or to taste
Cut the berries in half, reserving a few whole ones for garnish. Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the onion and saute over medium to medium-low heat until soft and slightly brown (about 7 minutes). Add the garlic and cook briefly, then add the vinegar and wine, simmering until almost dry. Add the beef broth, and simmer until almost dry. Stir in the halved berries, then remove from the heat - they will cook from the heat remaining. Adjust to taste with salt, pepper, brown sugar (to cut the berries tartness) and thyme.
Garnish with the whole berries. Serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate if not using soon immediately and return to room temperature before serving - do NOT reheat. Great on a steak or most grilled meat!
