Loganberry Barbecue Sauce

Whidbey Island in Washington’s Puget Sound is one of the most beautiful places in the Pacific Northwest. At one time, the island was home to the world’s largest loganberry farm. Loganberries can now be purchased fresh or frozen in many markets, but boysenberries or blackberries would work as well. The sauce is particularly good with chicken, duck, or game hens.

Cooks' Note

Suggested Beverage: Greenbank Farm Loganberry Wine, a good Pinot Noir, or any medium-bodied red wine with distinct berry aromas.
