The Zebitz Vikings share the recipe for:

Deer with berry sauce and buttered turnips

250 g plums, cored and chopped
125 g raspberries
125 g blackberries
100 ml mead

Boil or roast the meat to your liking.

Melt the butter in a pot and sauté the onions. Add the plums and berries and let it all boil until the fruit is soft and mushy. Crush the fruit with a spoon and add the mead.

Serve slices of meat with berry sauce, a sprinkle of mint, and buttered turnips.

Buttered turnips

Peal and quarter the turnips. Boil the turnips in water or stock. Drain the turnips when soft, add the butter, crush and mix well with a spoon.
