Blackberry-Balsamic Glazed Quail

‘‘

“One should never assume that any wild game has had the ideal diet and conditions. When in doubt, use hunter’s insurance: a brine. Brines force moisture and flavor into the meat. Whether you prepare it yourself or use a pre-made brine, they always make your game taste great!” -Angelia Highsmith

Recipe by Angelia Highsmith of Pinckney Hill Plantation. Recipe featured in the June/July 18 issue.

INGREDIENTS

For the Blackberry-Balsamic Glaze

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup red wine
1/4 cup tamari sauce
1/4 cup blackberry jelly
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon minced garlic

TO PREPARE:
