Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups blackberries
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- 2 tablespoons liqueur (such as Chambord or Grand Marnier)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the blackberries begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries soften and the sauce thickens slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
Gradually stir the cornstarch slurry into the blackberry mixture. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the liqueur of your choice. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity if needed.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. Use it warm or refrigerate for later use. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
