Grilled Chicken with Blueberry BBQ Sauce
In our basket from the Fresh Fork CSA this week were some garlic scapes and some blue-berries so we decided to use both of them to make some bbq sauce. (http://www.freshforkmarket.com/)The chicken was rubbed with olive oil, garlic and lemon and allowed to marinate for several hours. While the chicken was resting, we combined in a sauce pan 2T olive oil, 1/4C garlic scapes, 1/2 of a jalapeno which had been seeded, 1/8t powdered ginger, and a healty pinch of ground cloves. Heat is mixture gently and stir until the garlic gets tender. Then add 3/4C fresh whole blueberries, 3T ketchup, 1T balsamic vinegar, 1T bourbon (optional). Bring to a simmer and cover until the blueberries are cooked and soft. Blend the entire mixture in a food processor. We cooked the chicken on the Weber and near the end, added the bbq sauce. It had a very nice combination of spicy and sweet from the berries. We have a feeling the same idea would work with strawberries or red/black raspberries perhaps with some adjustments to the spices, but we haven't tried yet.
