Cook the onion mixture for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are caramelized and most of the liquid is evaporated. Move to cooler part of grill and keep warm. To make the patties, combine ground chuck, onion, blueberries, cinnamon, nutmeg, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix meat well without over mixing. Divide mixture into six equal portions and shape into patties. When grill is preheated, brush with oil to prevent sticking.
