MENNY'S BLUEBERRY BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, garlic, and ginger until onion is softened, about 8 minutes. Add blueberries, maple syrup, cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, lemon juice, cinnamon, cumin, chili powder, paprika, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper; stir to combine. Simmer over medium-low heat until sauce is slightly reduced and bubbling, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove skillet from heat; cool slightly. Pour sauce into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth.

BLUEBERRY BBQ

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients for the sauce into a saucepan and cook for 2 hours over medium-low heat. Remove the sauce from the heat and place into a food processor or blender and puree. Strain the sauce and set aside.
• Preheat grill over medium-high heat.
• Place the ribs onto the grill and brush with sauce. This will glaze the ribs while they cook.
• The blueberries add a subtle sweetness to the sauce to play off the heat of the chiles and the acid of the vinegar.

BLUEBERRY JALAPENO BBQ SAUCE RECIPE

BLUEBERRY BARBECUE SAUCE

• Combine all of the ingredients in a medium sauce pan and heat over medium-high heat.
• Once you hit the boiling point, turn the heat down and simmer for around 15 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken (as the berries break down), stirring occasionally.
• Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Pour the sauce into a blender, food processor or any other liquifying contraption you have sitting around in the cabinets.
• Blend the ingredients until liquified.
• Brush the blueberry barbecue sauce over some grilled pork chops, chicken or ribs and serve with some extra sauce on the side!
• Again, I think it's a pretty delicious sauce and something different to serve to your guests at the next cookout. Let me know if you make it even better and want to share with the rest of our grilling fanatics. Before we go though, my youngest son wanted to pass along a blueberry picking tip. If your hands get dirty, no sweat, just use your mouth:

BLUEBERRY BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the ingredients: measure the ketchup and vinegar, crush the garlic, rinse the blueberries or if you are using frozen, rinse them off and let them thaw out in a bowl.
• Add the ketchup, blueberries, vinegar, crushed garlic to a saucepan and cook on low heat stirring occasionally until the blueberries become very soft - about 30 minutes.
• Add 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and check the taste for sweetness and adjust the flavors.
• For a smooth sauce, place sauce into a blender, food processor or use an immersion blender.

BLUEBERRY BOURBON BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until fragrant and soft. Stir in garlic and jalapeño and cook for about 1 minute. Add bourbon and turn up the heat bringing the mix to a boil. Cook until the bourbon has evaporated (about 4-5 minutes). Stir in blueberries, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, molasses and allspice. Return to a boil. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Let cool. Puree half of the sauce in a food processor or blender. Return the sauce back to the pan and mix together. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

BLUEBERRY-BOURBON BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and just starting to brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeno and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add bourbon, increase heat to high and bring to a boil; cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in blueberries, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, molasses and allspice; return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes.

BLUEBERRY BBQ CHICKEN

Steps:

• Sauce: In a food processor, add blueberries, vinegar, and sugar. Pulse to break up the berries into a chunky pulp. Place mixture into a saucepan; add bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and crushed red pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, covered, 10-15 minutes.
• Remove from heat; remove cinnamon stick and bay leaf. Carefully transfer the sauce to a blender. Make sure the lid is entirely sealed to prevent sauce from spattering while you blend. Blend the sauce to a smooth consistency, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high. When sauce is smooth, strain it through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl.
• Transfer sauce back to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, uncovered, and reduce by ¼, about 5 minutes. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon, and the viscosity should be more like maple syrup than honey. Pour into a container and cool to room temperature. Makes about 2 cups. (Sauce will keep for up to 6 months refrigerated in a lidded container.)
• Prep chicken: Lay spatchcocked chicken breast side up on a wire rack fitted over a rimmed baking sheet. Season liberally on both sides with salt and pepper (about 15 turns of a pepper mill per side). Let rest at room temperature while preheating the grill, 30 minutes.
• Grill chicken: Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat, about 375 F. The coals should be ashed over in some places, with red embers burning within. Move the coals to one side of the grill to create areas of both direct and indirect heat. Place the chicken skin side up on the side of the grill over the coals (direct heat). Cover and cook, 15 minutes.
• Divide the Blue Q Sauce: half should be used for basting, while the other half should be reserved for the final baste and for serving. (If the cooled sauce has thickened too much, simply reheat in a saucepan over low heat, or briefly microwave to return to its original syrupy consistency before using.) Remove the lid. Use tongs to flip the chicken over, skin side down, onto the indirect heat side of the grill. Baste the underside of the bird with Blue Q Sauce, then gently re-position back over direct heat, still skin side down. Cover and cook, 5 minutes. Repeat this process-flipping, basting, and grilling for 5 minutes at a time, covered-2-3 more times, until chicken is fully cooked. (The leg, when tugged, should become loosened from the breast. Alternatively, a thermometer placed in the thickest part of the thigh, avoiding the bone, should register 165 F.) Discard remaining basting sauce.
• Remove chicken from the grill and place on a cutting board, skin side up. Use reserved Blue Q Sauce to baste one last time and let rest, 5 minutes. Cut the chicken into 6 or 8 pieces and drizzle once more with sauce. Serve warm or at room temperature with additional sauce on the side.
