Directions

This unusual sauce for use on beef brisket, from Arkansas Cookbook author and restaurateur Crescent Dragonwagon, is supposedly a favorite of President Bill Clinton.

Method: Thaw blueberries if frozen; do not drain. Puree berries.

Combine celery, onions, green pepper, garlic and carrots in large saucepan; add honey, molasses, vinegar, salt, pepper and spices. Add pureed berries; mix well. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
