Blueberry Bbq Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the blueberries, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have burst and the sauce has thickened.
  3. Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, transfer it to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little water.
  5. Use the blueberry BBQ sauce immediately, or let it cool completely before transferring it to a jar or airtight container for storage.
