Grilling season is upon us and maybe you are looking for something different. This Blueberry BBQ sauce would pair perfect with grilled chicken or as a dipping sauce for grilled wings. Also, add flavor to that Turkey burger and top it with some muenster cheese and fresh basil. Maybe even a nice 3-4 lb. pork tenderloin glaze. Add some hickory or peach wood chips to the coals or your smoker box for added flavor. More importantly, the health benefits of the blueberries is amazing!
