Doreen, a game dinner for Christmas sounds wonderful.

If I wanted to serve a fruit sauce with game, Cumberland Sauce would
come to mind or a sauce like the one that is made for Salmi of Duck.
Black currant (used somewhat sparingly) might also be a good fruit to
use.  Starting from scratch, I'd probably use game stock; fruit juice,
jelly, syrup or wine; orange and lemon zest and juice; spices, such as
mace, black pepper, and allspice; possibly bay leaf and thyme; and maybe
even brandy or port.

However, I did a little surfing and found some recipes that read well
and might serve as jump-off points for concocting a suitable sauce for
your game dinner.  Hope these help:

Pontack Sauce http://www.patch-work.demon.co.uk/elder.htm

Good luck and let us know what you ended up serving with the game. --

I'm serving roast buffalo, elk and antelope for Christmas dinner along
with 
the usual ham and turkey.  A couple of hunter friends contributed the
game, 
as they invited themselves to dinner.  With such richly flavored meats,
I 
was thinking that an elderberry sauce might be good.  Does anyone have a

recipe for one or for any kind of intensely flavored fruit sauce?  I'm
open 
to suggestions, as I probably can beg or buy most any fruit.  And, I
already 
have wild blueberries, white currants and plums in the freezer. Doreen
