Yum! This sauce is so easy to make and has a terrific flavor. I added it to some baked chicken about 20 minutes before it was done and it worked perfectly. Thanks for a unique and yummy recipe, chia.

Not a sauce I'd use a lot but it's very good and I thoroughly enjoyed it on a grilled chicken breast.

This recipe had me curious for quite awhile and I'm so glad I finally tried it. While we enjoyed it I thought the vinegar overpowered the other flavours somewhat and turned the sauce almost black, which turned the chicken I used it on almost black as well. Not the most pretty presentation. On the other hand the blueberry flavour is just too good to pass up and I will be playing with this recipe. I may try champagne vinegar in a smaller amount next time and will add some onion to the mix. Maybe fresh ginger? This is worth some experimentation to suit our taste. Thank you, chia!
