How to Make Blueberry Barbecue Sauce
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened.
- Pour in 1/2 cup dry red wine and 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar.
- Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
- Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker. Add 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 cup water.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Carefully use an immersion blender to puree the sauce until smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Let the sauce cool completely before transferring it to an airtight jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
