Chop and mince the garlic, onion and rosemary so that they are ready to use.
¼ small red onion, 1 garlic clove, 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
Place the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter into a skillet and set on a medium high heat on the stovetop.
1 tablespoon oil, 2 tablespoons salted butter
Once hot, add in the onion and garlic. Cook for a couple of minutes til softened. Do not brown it.
¼ small red onion, 1 garlic clove
Add in the rest of the ingredients and stir together.
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, ¼ cup balsamic vinegar, ¼ cup red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 2 cups blueberries, ½ teaspoon salt, pinch black pepper
Bring to a simmer. Let simmer for around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and reduced.
Take off of the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
2 tablespoons salted butter
Taste and adjust the sweetness or salt if required.

Mince the garlic and onion as finely as you can so that it mixes in well with the sauce.

Don't skip adding the butter at the end of cooking. It adds a richer flavor and glossy sheen, as well as helping to hold the sauce together for a smoother texture.

If you prefer a smooth sauce, you can pass it through a fine mesh sieve before serving.
Taste before serving and add in additional maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter, or add in salt to suit your tastes.
