This Blueberry BBQ Sauce (AIP/Paleo) is simple, easy, and quick. If you have these 4 ingredients, 10 minutes, and a blender, you’ve got it made!
From a cooking standpoint, I love summer! I love the foods that are seasonal, the grilling, the salads, the stone fruits, the berries, the fresh herbs… I mean… *sigh*
I’m always looking for ways to use the freshness that abounds at my local farmers’ market. I got this weird idea one day to make BBQ sauce out of blueberries. It turns out that it wasn’t such a weird idea! It’s yummy!
This recipe is ridiculously easy. And with only 4 ingredients, it’s pretty simple. Just dump the ingredients in a saucepan, mash, and blend. The end.
What to do with it
There are many uses for a Q sauce. Here are a few:
- Slather some on some grilled chicken (obv.)
- Dip some AIP Chicken Tenders in it
- Drizzle some over your Bison Burgers
- Ribs? (I haven’t tried it yet, but seems like it could be a thing.)
One word of caution…
I have talked so much about the Cuisinart mini food processor
Use the blender.
I hope you are managing the crazy changes facing us right now, and maintaining equilibrium. Most of all – as always – I wish you great love and deep healing!

Thanks – really good and easy recipe! I don’t make a lot of AIP sauces because they’re usually so much work, and I was never really a fan BBQ sauce, but that’s because they were all tomato-based and I never liked tomato. So this was a nice change and I enjoyed it a lot.
Hi, Sue! I’m glad you like it! I’m all for exploring different flavors. 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to write!

How long does it last in fridge?
Hi, Levi! 👋 Waaaaay in the back of my fridge sits a small jar of the stuff – from several months ago. No mold or anything. I recommend you cleaning out your fridge way more frequently than I do, and not keep this BBQ sauce that long. 😂 I am not an expert on how long things should be able to keep, scientifically speaking, but I believe this BBQ sauce can hang around a while…
