BLUEBERRY CHUTNEY

Here's an exceptionally easy condiment, perfect for a summer barbecue. Not only great on burgers, it's terrific as a glaze on grilled salmon or served alongside barbecued chicken.

2½ cups fresh blueberries

1 medium shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons)

1 cup sugar

½ cup red-wine vinegar

2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Place blueberries, sugar, vinegar, ginger, shallots, lime juice, salt and pepper in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have mostly broken down and the sauce has thickened, 20 to 30 minutes. Spoon into glass jars or a large bowl and refrigerate until chilled and thickened, about 4 hours.
