    Blackberry Barbecue Sauce

    This delicious blackberry barbecue sauce is easy and punchy! A truly spectacular BBQ sauce for pork tenderloin, ribs, chicken and more! Fruitiness from the blackberries (you can use fresh or frozen) with richness and depth from spices, brown sugar and cooked onion makes this simple fruit bbq sauce a true classic!

    If you're lucky enough to have lots of frozen blackberries in your freezer, or you've been out picking berries, you might like to try my easy Pickled Blackberries which are a delicious condiment for grilled meat or cheese plates.
