Steps:
- CHUTNEY: In a large frying melt butter, until it starts to brown. Add onions and cook until translucent. Add wild blueberry juice, maple syrup, port, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then let reduce until as little liquid as possible remains without sticking to the pan.
- SEARED SCALLOPS: In a hot skillet with olive oil sear scallops, depending on size, for about one minute on each side until the scallop starts to slit on its side. Larger scallops require more cooking time. Serve on toast point, with Caramelized Blueberry Onion Chutney. Garnish with sea salt.

Steps:
- Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.
- Add the butter and oil to a 12 to 14-inch saute pan on high heat. Salt and pepper the scallops. Once the fat begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Serve immediately.
