A simple and nutritious blueberry BBQ sauce, for when you have an abundance of berries and are running out of recipes to make with them! Vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, refined sugar free, Paleo, Whole30.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 small onion yellow or white
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (60 ml)
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (60 ml)
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2-1/2 cups blueberries (13 oz)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup omit for Whole30 (60 ml)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder and chili powder
- 6 oz can tomato paste
- few drops liquid smoke optional
Instructions
- Dice onion and saute over medium heat in a bit of oil (I recommend a neutral-tasting coconut oil) until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add in all remaining ingredients and simmer over medium low heat until the berries cook down. Be sure to continue stirring, so the mixture does not burn.
- Once the mixture has cooked down (approximately 15-20 minutes), add it in batches to a blender or food processor.
- Pulse until the mixture is nice and smooth.
- Allow to cool, then use immediately or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
