Made with fresh berries, this Easy Blueberry BBQ Sauce packs a lot of flavour and is the perfect sauce for smoked or BBQ ribs. And it’s great on BBQ chicken as a basting sauce.

How To Use Blueberry BBQ Sauce

This BBQ sauce can be used in almost any way you would use a traditional BBQ sauce. But there are some ways that we love to use this sauce.

Smoked ribs are one of the best ways to use this sauce. After smoking ribs, slather this Blueberry BBQ Sauce over the ribs. The blueberry flavour is perfect with pork ribs.

Storing Blueberry BBQ Sauce

When the sauce is cooled, pour it into jars or containers with lids and store it in the refrigerator for up to a month.

Alternatively, the BBQ sauce can be canned in mason jars using a water bath. When canned, this sauce will last up to a year on in a cool, dark place.
