Cranberry BBQ sauce
1 (12 ounce) bag cranberries
1/2 cup water
1/8 cup diced sweet onion
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 tablespoon steak sauce
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
5 drops liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 tablespoon ground ginger
2 drops hot sauce
tarragon, oregano, chili powder, thyme and paprika
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
liquid stevia, as needed
Basic Venison Burger
1 lb ground venison
1 tablespoon oil (canola, etc)
salt and pepper
aged cheddar cheese, sliced
red onion, sliced
kaiser roll

1
For the Cranberry Sauce: Place all ingredients, except stevia, into a stock pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 15 minutes or until the liquid is reduced to 1/3. Keep stirring to prevent the sugars from burning to the bottom of the pan.
2
Remove from stove and allow to cool for about 15 minutes (this is to keep the blender from exploding on you).
3
Place in a blender and puree.
4
Strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer, using a wooden spoon to press and strain the sauce.
5
Refrigerate. This sauce will hold for a few weeks in the refrigerator!
6
For the Venison Burger: Mix the ground venison, oil, salt and pepper well. You can also add some pork fat if you like -- I like my burgers very lean so I don't add fat. You just have to be careful they don't fall apart on the grill, so add as much oil as you need to hold them together.
7
Grill or broil for about 4 minutes per side.
8
To build the burger, slice the Kaiser rolls. Place one or two slices of the Aged cheddar on the roll. Place a burger over the cheese and add as much cranberry BBQ sauce as desired. Top with a slice of red onion.
