I once had some spectacular blueberry barbecued ribs on a visit to the southern US quite a while back. I’ve been meaning to experiment with creating a blueberry barbecue sauce of my own ever since. and t

Then, this week I finally got around to it. I tried a couple of recipes but neither one quite made the grade. However, when I mixed them together the result was quite delicious.

With just a little tweaking, it was a hit on some simple grilled chicken at dinner the other night. Stay tuned, I’m experimenting with honey barbecue wings, slow cooked ribs t.

Plus, a blueberry barbecue version of pulled pork in the coming weeks using this unusual but delicious sauce.
