Sauces


Blueberry Ketchup

July 15, 2009

From Chef Jim LaPerriere, a Saugatuck-based personal executive chef. This sweet, tangy dipping sauce goes well with meats, cheeses and vegetables; try it as a glaze for barbecued pork tenderloin.

2 cups blueberries

1 teaspoon chopped garlic, about 1 clove

1 small shallot, minced

6 tablespoons brown sugar

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1/4 teaspoon ground coriander

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepot over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered (stirring occasionally) for 25-35 minutes, or until thickened and syrupy. Cool slightly, transfer to a blender and puree. Push through a fine mesh strainer, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Makes about 1 cup or 8 servings.
