Blackberry Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Blackberries

    In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the fresh blackberries with the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to macerate.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch, water, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the cornstarch is dissolved. Add the macerated blackberries, including the juices from the bowl, and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Thicken the Sauce

    Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Allow the blackberry sauce to cool slightly before serving. It can be served warm or cold over desserts such as ice cream, pancakes, or yogurt.
