Course Sauce
Cook Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 cups blackberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients into a pot and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.  Stir periodically. 

  2. Mash the berries with a potato masher or a fork.  Continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes.

  3. Pour through a strainer into a bowl.  Press on the fruit to extract as much juice as possible.  Allow the syrup to cool.  It will thicken a bit as it cools.

  4. Refrigerate and use within 1-2 weeks.  This syrup can also be frozen.
