Method

Combine Ingredients

Place all the ingredients blueberries, ketchup, vinegar, molasses, brown sugar, honey, water, Worcestershire sauce, and spices into a medium saucepan. Set over medium heat.

Blend

Take the pan off the heat. Blend the sauce until smooth using an immersion blender directly in the pot or transfer it to a blender.

Strain (Optional)

If you prefer a smoother consistency, strain the blended sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids.

Cool And Store
