Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 cup ginger beer or ginger ale
• 1/2 cup balsamic ketchup
• 2 tbsp steak sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1-2 tbsp finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• Sliders:
• 2 packages Hawaiian sweet rolls
• 3 tbsp butter, softened
• 3 lbs. ground beef
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 tsp pepper
• 6 slices sharp white cheddar or provolone, quartered
• 1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
• 3 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced

Directions

1. In a saucepan, combine the first 8 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 15-20 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly. Transfer to a food processor; process until pureed. Reserve 1/4 cup sauce for brushing burgers.

2. For sliders, split rolls horizontally in half. Spread bottoms with butter. In a large bowl, combine beef, salt and pepper, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 24 patties, pressing an indentation in the center of each.

3. In two batches, grill burgers, covered, over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, brushing tops with reserved sauce after turning. Top with cheese; grill, covered, 15-30 seconds longer or until melted. Serve on rolls with onion, tomatoes and remaining sauce.
