Blueberry Barbecue Sauce Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
• Saute the onion, garlic and ginger until soft, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the blueberries and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Add the cider vinegar, honey, molasses, ketchup, paprika, salt, pepper, cinnamon, Dijon mustard, nutmeg, celery seed, cayenne pepper, cloves and brown sugar.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer the sauce for 15 minutes.

• If you want a"finer" sauce, strain it back into a clean saucepan.
• Bring the sauce back to a simmer and cook a few minutes more.
• Let cool completely.

Steps:

• In a small skillet over medium heat, warm the oil; stir/sauté the onion and garlic for 5 minutes or until softened.

• Transfer mixture to a slow cooker and add in the remaining ingredients.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or until thick.
