To round out the recipes for “Blueberry Month” I decided to do something a little savory. I had also never made a barbeque sauce so what better time than now? 🙂 I liked the unique element that the blueberries added to this dish. My one complaint was that the recipe called for a bit too much vinegar for my taste (I don’t care for too tangy a flavor in my bbq). I would reduce it if you feel the same. It paired nicely with the chicken but I could see it going well with pork or fish as well. Enjoy!
