Blueberry BBQ sauce directions
Heat the oil in a nonreactive saucepan. Add the onion and jalapeño and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the ketchup, vinegar, sugar, mustard, and Tabasco. Bring to a simmer.
Add the blueberries and simmer over low heat, stirring until thickened, about 10 minutes.
Puree the sauce in a blender or food processor until smooth. Pass through a strainer and season with salt and pepper.
Serve additional BBQ sauce with the chicken skewers
Notes
Make Ahead - this sauce can be made several days in advance and refrigerated. This will keep for 3 - 4 days tightly covered in the refrigerator
