Mixed Berry Sauce to Be Enjoyed With Meat image

This is a sauce that my family and I enjoy eating with red meat, game or in particular, duck. It was a bit of an experiment but turned out great. The sauce itself takes only 10 minutes to make but it requires the juices from the meat so you have to cook your meat first. PLEASE NOTE: time cooking the meat will vary from meat to meat and person to person so I have not included this in cooking times, I have only included the timing of the actual sauce itself. As it is a fruity sauce do not expect it to be thick and creamy, it is quite fluid but its the flavour that we love. It is both sweet and savory atthe same time as the fruit and the meat juices used are a complete contrast to each other.
