Fillet of Venison With a Wild Thyme and Blueberry Sauce image

This is a recipe from Ballindalloch Castle. Wild thyme grows on all our river banks up here and in summer even in our town's drinking water you can taste the thyme - it is delicious. The blueberry also grows wild and when kids come home with a blue face they are said to have a 'blaeberry mou'. Sooo this recipe is full of the flavours of the Scottish Mountains.

I'm not a fan of blueberries, but I loved this sauce. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tart. I would definitely make this recipe again, even if I used a different type of berry.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The venison is so tender and juicy, and the sauce is to die for. I served it with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables, and it was a perfect meal.
