BC Blueberry BBQ Sauce {Vegan}
Ahhhh Barbecue season. It’s too hot to cook outside, so you just do it all on the grill outside.
There are few things I haven’t done on the BBQ… I remember making a dutch baby one time, and it turned out great.
There’s just something so magical that happens when flame meats food. The smokiness and grill marks make everything taste better.
Here in BC, it’s also blueberry season, and this year’s crop is a beauty. They’re fat and sweet and so delicious. I love getting some from local farms every year and then turning them into various sweet and savoury dishes and baked goods. Normally I make cakes and pies and tarts and muffins, and pancakes, but this year I wanted to do something a little different.
So, Blueberry BBQ Sauce, anyone? This sauce has a great balance of sweet, acid and smoke. The blueberries help to sweeten it, but they also help to make it thick and unctuous, almost like a jammy consistency.
This Blueberry BBQ Sauce is super easy to make, and you probably have most of these ingredients already on hand!
I love this on a veggie burger or a veggie dog, and here are bunch of ways you can BBQ vegetables.
