Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cups water
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Rinse the fresh blueberries and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the blueberries, grated ginger, minced garlic, cayenne pepper, ground cinnamon, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.
Let the sauce simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have softened and the sauce begins to thicken.
Using the back of a spoon, gently mash some of the blueberries to create a mix of whole fruit and a thicker sauce consistency.
Taste the sauce and adjust the heat by adding a pinch more cayenne pepper or sweetness with a sprinkle of sugar, if necessary.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve warm or let it cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
