  2. Sauce: Heat the butter in a medium nonreactive saucepan over medium heat. Cook the celery, carrot and onions till soft. Add in the peppercorns, port, red wine, cranberry juice, ancho puree, brown sugar and stock and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, till reduced by half.
  3. Strain into a clean pot, add in the blackberries and cook over medium heat till the blackberries are soft, using the back of a fork, gently crush the blackberries. Season with salt, to taste.
  4. Venison: Whisk together the gin, port, red wine, thyme and juniper berries in a medium shallow baking dish. Add in the venison and turn to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 20 min. Remove from marinade and pat dry.
  5. Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large saute/fry pan over high heat. Season the venison with salt and pepper and cook on 1 side till golden, about 3 to 4 min. Turn over, reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for 3 to 4 min.
  6. Sweet Potato-Toasted Pine Nut Polenta: Brush a little oil on a baking sheet and set aside.
  7. Heat 1 Tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add in onions and garlic and cook till soft. Add in stock or possibly water plus salt, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Slowly whisk in the cornmeal with a wire whisk. Once all of the cornmeal is whisked in turn the heat to low and continue cooking, mixing with a wooden spoon, till the mix begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
  8. Stir in the mashed sweet potato and butter and mix till combined. Stir the pine nuts into the mix, season with salt and pepper and pour the mix into the prepared baking sheet. Cover the top with plastic wrap and chill till hard and chilled.
