Blueberry BBQ Sauce

This recipe was submitted by Wendy Perry during our viewer recipe contest and I saved it until Blueberries were in season. Wendy combined 3 great North Carolina goodies in one recipe – Nashville’s George’s BBQ sauce, NC Blueberries and NC Honey. This BBQ sauce is good on grilled chicken, fish or pork.
