1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh gingerroot
1 teaspoon chili powder

Don't try to make this recipe using frozen blueberries. There is too much water in them and the sauce will never get thick.
Bring a stock pot full of water to a boil and add ribs. Cook over medium-high heat until ribs are very tender.

While the ribs are boiling get your BBQ going , gas , charcoal or wood it's your choice but you want white ash to grill over.
Place all remaining ingredients in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until flavors are blended about 15 minutes..
Place ribs on grill; baste often with the  sauce. turning occasionally, until ribs are tender.
 
Cook remaining blueberry sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Serve sauce over ribs.
