2. Cooking Process:

   • In a saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, sugar, ketchup, minced garlic cloves, and salt.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.

3. Simmering:

   • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to simmer the sauce.
   • Cook for about 15 minutes or until the sauce has slightly thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

4. Cooling and Blending:

   • Allow the sauce to cool slightly before handling.
   • Transfer the sauce into a blender and puree until smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the saucepan.

5. Serve or Store:

   • Use the Blueberry BBQ Sauce immediately as a glaze or dipping sauce for chicken, pork, tuna, or other grilled meats.
   • Any leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tips:

• Variations: Experiment with adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, or even a pinch of smoked paprika to customize the flavor profile.

• Frozen Berries: If fresh blueberries are out of season or unavailable, frozen blueberries can be used without compromising the taste or texture of the sauce.

• Serving Suggestions: Brush the sauce onto grilled chicken breasts during the last few minutes of cooking for a sweet and savory glaze, or serve it alongside grilled pork chops or tuna steaks for a flavorful dip.

• Health Benefits: This sauce is naturally low in cholesterol and saturated fat, making it a healthier alternative to traditional BBQ sauces. It’s also rich in antioxidants from the blueberries.

Enjoy this Blueberry BBQ Sauce as a versatile addition to your summer grilling or any time you crave a burst of fruity flavor in your dishes!
