I don't either. I like many recipes that combine fruit
with meat. I also love coleslaw on bbq sandwiches.
Apple sauce on a plate is a good "palate cleanser"
just like wine is for many people.
Ham cooked with crushed pineapple is very tasty
once combined with the ham juice/fat.

Here's a recipe for you. A woman that lives in Alaska posted
this years ago in another ng. I tried it once. You don't
taste the blueberries much but it's very tasty.

Blueberry Barbecue Sauce

2 tsp. vegetable oil
1/4 cup minced onion
1 Tbsp. minced fresh jalapeno chile; seeded
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
3 Tbsp. light brown sugar
3 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. Tabasco
2 cups blueberries; frozen or fresh
Salt
Fresh ground pepper

Heat the oil in a non-reactive saucepan. Add the onion and
jalapeno and
cook over moderate heat, stirring, until wilted, about 3 minutes.
Add
the ketchup, vinegar, sugar, mustard and Tabasco and bring to a
simmer.
Add the blueberries and simmer over low heat, stirring until
thickened,
about 10 minutes. Puree the sauce in a blender or food
processor until
smooth. Pass through a strainer and season salt and pepper. Serve
at
room temperature.

Use on: Any kind of beefsteak, hamburgers, pork chops, chicken
Make Ahead: The sauce can be refrigerated for up to one day

Yield: About 1 1/2 cups
