Ingredients
Blueberry Barbecue Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • ¼ cup minced onion
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cups blueberries
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in non-reactive saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until almost translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the ketchup, vinegar, sugar, and mustard and whisk to combine. Bring the ingredients to a simmer.
  2. Add the blueberries. Continue to simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  3. Puree the sauce in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Optionally pass through a fine mesh sieve if a smoother consistency is desired.
  4. Season with salt and pepper.
Notes
Grilled Chicken or Tofu: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly season both sides of 4 (6-ounce) chicken breasts or 4 tofu "steaks" with salt and pepper, and brush them with a little oil. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F if prepared chicken. Let the meat or tofu rest for 5 minutes before serving with the Blueberry Barbecue Sauce.
