Chicken with Blueberry Barbeque Sauce

July 17, 2012

Most people claim that they eat lighter in the summer. But as for me, I am obsessed with the flavors of summer, like fresh fruits and veggies, salads, burgers, ice cream, refreshing beverages, oh and don’t forget the s’mores.

I take advantage of these seasonal summer favorites and stuff myself silly for as long as I can. Of all these summer flavors, fresh summer fruit is my absolute favorite! Ok, honestly of course s’mores are my all-time favorite summer treat, BUT, as much as I would love to live on S’mores and S’mores alone that is not a very figure friendly diet.

But summer fruit; it sustains me. From salads to smoothies to fruit salsas on fish to toping my morning cereal, and even transformed into a barbeque sauce for chicken!

If fruit in your barbeque sauce sounds alarming, well don’t let it be. I first heard of this last summer when my Aunt and Uncle hosted us for 4th of July and had barbeque catered from a local barbeque joint. This place was known for their barbeque sauce, one of which was a blackberry barbeque sauce. That blackberry sauce served up on some pork ribs was sweet, and tangy with a slight kick. Perfect, and all be, not overly fruity.

This barbeque sauce is the same, complex and fruity, with just less heat of that blackberry sauce. If you are skeptical it is worth the try, you might actually get a wild hair and become a berry barbeque sauce lover.
