A different and delicious way to use blueberries, this tangy, sweet-savory sauce would also be great over chicken. The blend of berries and balsamic is wonderful! —Libby Walp, Chicago

Easy and soooo delicious! I grilled my porkchops and simmered the other ingredients on the stove.

Super simple recipe and very tasty! Love the spicy contrast of the herb rub with the sweet blueberries! My whole family loved it and asked for the recipe.

I made this with blackberries instead and it was wonderful. I'm going to make it again soon.

I followed the recipe exactly as written and this came out yummy. The flavors paired nicely and the sweet wasn't overpowering.

I'm going to try it with chicken next time.
