While oysters are perfect on their own, a mignonette complements their briny liquor with its acidic blend of shallot, cracked pepper, and vinegar.<\/p>\n

Try our twist on the traditional mignonette, where we add pickled blueberries. Because blueberries are at their peak, they add a sweet note to the vinegar while the shallots add a nice crunch. Feel free to use your favorite oyster variety or a mix\u2014most will work well with this mignonette.<\/p>\n

Pair your oysters with a cool, crisp white wine or light white ale. Keep this mignonette on hand in the fridge, great for summery cocktails, cheese plates, grilled cheeses, and ice cream toppers.<\/p>\n

What You’ll Need:<\/strong><\/span>
\n1\/8 cup sugar<\/a>
\n1 cup blueberries<\/a>
\n1\/2 cup red wine vinegar<\/a>
\n1\/2 cup rice wine vinegar<\/a>
\n1\/2 medium shallot<\/a>, minced
\nPinch of crushed black pepper<\/a>
\nShucked oysters<\/a><\/p>\n

What to Do:<\/strong><\/span>
\nCombine vinegars together in a bowl.\u00a0Add minced shallot and sugar, and stir.<\/p>\n

Add blueberries and chill mignonette for a minimum of two hours. (However, we suggest chilling overnight for the best flavor.)<\/p>\n

Remove half of the pickled blueberries and pur\u00e9e it in a food processor.\u00a0Blend the pur\u00e9e back into mixture.<\/p>\n

Display oysters on ice and top with mignonette.\u00a0Sprinkle oysters with crushed black pepper and enjoy!<\/p>\n
