Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh blackberries
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 quarter cup Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 Garlic clove
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Rinse the fresh blackberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small saucepan, combine the blackberries and water. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries start to break down and release their juices.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Once cooled, strain the blackberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a mixing bowl, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
To the strained blackberry juice, add balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together until the dressing is fully emulsified and smooth.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preference.
Pour the dressing into a clean jar or bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before using.
