Blueberry sauce is typically used as a sweet condiment, often paired with breakfast dishes like pancakes or waffles. However, blueberries' naturally tart flavor profile lends itself well to creating savory sauces, and using them to create a savory sauce can be a great way to add a unique, fruity flavor to meat dishes, stews, and more. Whether you're looking to add a pop of color to your next pork chop or a touch of sweetness to your favorite grilled cheese sandwich, creating a delectable savory blueberry sauce is easier than you might think.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Salt and pepper both sides of each pork chop. Heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in an oven-proof skillet big enough to hold all four pork chops.
- Brown the pork chops, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the chops from the pan and transfer to an ovenproof platter; place in oven. Remove when the pork is just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
- While the pork chops are in the oven, prepare the sauce. Heat a tablespoon of oil on medium high heat in the same skillet you used to brown the chops.
- Sauté the shallots until soft and golden. Add the wine and water and let boil down for 1-2 minutes, scraping up the brown bits.
- Add the blueberries. When the skins begin to burst, add the lemon zest and juice. Let the sauce continue to boil and thicken until the pork chops are ready.
- Once the pork chops are ready, remove the pan from the oven and place the pork chops on a cutting board and let them rest while finishing the sauce.
- Turn the heat off under the saucepan and stir in the butter until it is completely melted. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt.
- Serve the pork chops either whole or sliced, topped with the blueberry sauce and fresh parsley.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest blueberries you can find. Look for berries that are plump, firm, and deeply colored.
- Rinse the blueberries thoroughly before using them.
- Use a food processor or blender to make the blueberry sauce. This will help to create a smooth and consistent sauce.
- Add a little bit of sugar or honey to the sauce to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg, to enhance the flavor.
- Serve the blueberry sauce warm or cold. It can be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or yogurt.
Conclusion:
Savory blueberry sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It is a great way to add a pop of flavor to your favorite dishes. Whether you are using it as a marinade for chicken or fish, a glaze for vegetables, or a dipping sauce for appetizers, savory blueberry sauce is sure to be a hit.
