Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh blackberries
- 1 cup Port wine
- 0.25 cup Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the blackberries, port wine, sugar, and balsamic vinegar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries break down and the sauce begins to thicken.
Remove the saucepan from heat and pass the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl or saucepan. Discard the solid blackberry seeds and pulp caught in the strainer.
Return the strained sauce to the saucepan and place it back on low heat.
Add the unsalted butter, salt, and ground black pepper to the sauce. Stir until the butter is completely melted and incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed (add more salt or sugar to balance flavors).
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite dishes.
