Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
Instructions
Rinse the fresh blackberries under cold water and allow them to drain completely.
In a medium saucepan, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of water, and lemon juice. Stir to mix.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Allow the blackberries to cook for 6-8 minutes until they soften and release their juices.
In a small bowl, make a cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of cold water until smooth and lump-free.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering blackberry mixture, stirring constantly to avoid clumping.
Cook the blackberry mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat.
Allow the Blackberry Mush to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or chilled as a dessert topping, or enjoy it on its own.
