1 lemon
1 orange
1 1/2 cup(s) fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 cup(s) chicken stock
1/2 cup(s) sugar
1/4 teaspoon(s) ground cardamon
1 star anise

4 whole cloves
1 teaspoon(s) balsamic vinegar
1 pound(s) bay scallops
2 tablespoon(s) butter

Steps:

  • Using a microplane grate the zest from the orange and lemon. Reserve half of the zest. In a medium saucepan add the blueberries, zest and juice of the lemon and orange, stock, sugar and ground cardamon.
  • Wrap the star anise, cinnamon stick and cloves in a cheesecloth and secure with a tie. Drop that in the saucepan also.
  • Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and simmer 20 minutes until thickened.
  • Meanwhile pat the scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. In batches add the butter to a skillet and sear the scallops one to 2 minutes per side. Serve over the blueberry compote and top with the remaining zest
