Bursting with natural sweetness and elevated with a hint of zesty lemon, these blackberries are coated in a light, sugary glaze that forms in just minutes. Perfect as a vibrant topping for yogurt, pancakes, or ice cream—or even enjoyed on their own—this no-cook recipe takes only 10 minutes of prep and is sure to brighten up any dish. Whether you're looking for a simple side or a refreshing dessert garnish, this recipe is a must-try for fruit lovers. Plus, with only four ingredients—fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice—this effortless creation highlights the natural flavors of summer in every bite.
Gently rinse the blackberries under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Transfer the blackberries to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the blackberries.
Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the bowl.
Using a gentle folding motion, toss the blackberries until they are evenly coated with the sugar and lemon mixture.
Let the blackberries rest for 5-10 minutes at room temperature. This will allow the sugar to dissolve and the berries to release their natural juices, creating a light syrup.
Serve immediately as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, or desserts, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
