Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh blackberries
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Rinse the blackberries under cold water and drain them well.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and gently stir the mixture to coat the blackberries with sugar.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and let it cook for about 10 minutes until the blackberries start to soften and release their juices.
Add the lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the pan and stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the stewed blackberries cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm or chilled as a topping for pancakes, waffles, yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream.
