Blueberry Cherry Bourbon Barbecue Sauce

Ingredients:
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh cherries
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup bourbon
1/4 brown sugar
1/2 tsp cayenne, maybe more
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder

Combine everything in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, until the blueberries have burst and the sauce has thickened. Blend it all using a stick blender. Put it on things. Eat those things.

Thoughts: Pretty legit.

Buttermilk Dressing

This is borrowed from Food52.com

Ingredients:
1/4 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup plain, non-Greek style yogurt
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
3 tbsp minced vidalia onion
1/4 cup olive oil
garlic, as much as you want
salt, as much as seems reasonable
pepper, all the pepper

Stir everything together.

Thoughts: We served it with a pretty legit corn/dill/cucumber/feta salad, and also used it to bind together cole slaw. Make it! It's delicious!
