This sauce works great with fresh berries as well as frozen. We get gallons of blackberries off our bushes each year.
We use a bunch during the summer and freeze the rest for sweet treats during the year. I used some frozen berries to make the sauce for Donna’s cheesecake and fresh berries when I made it for the blackberry shortcake cake.
It is also be great over some vanilla ice cream or some pancakes.

Made a cheesecake and used this sauce to put on it. A hit at the community dinner. So easy and delicious
Yay! I am glad it was a hit. Cheesecake is one of my favorite things to serve it with.
This was easy and excellent. Used it over plain Greek yogurt and added a few mini chocolate chips for a breakfast treat.
That sounds delicious. I am so glad you liked it.
Actually a question rather than comment: I was hoping to can (water bath) this sauce. Do I need to do anything special within the cooking process in order for it not to process too much? Also, have you tried using monkfruit instead of sugar? Thanks!
Unfortunately I don’t can. It’s a skill I have been meaning to pick up, but haven’t had the time. I would think you could take a few minutes off the cook time since they will cook more in the water bath. I have not tried monkfruit either. Sorry!
It is delicious.. but, I realy do not like adding too much lemon juice. I followed the recipe but just added maybe a tsp of lime juice instead of the lemon. . It was very good,
That sounds yummy too!
So simple. Sooo delicious! Made with fresh blackberries
Warm over ice cream. Yummy.
I am so glad you enjoyed it!
The timing of this is perfect! My son has a new love for all things blackberry!
This will be perfect for him then!
This looks so delicious and so easy! Think I'll be making this the next time we have pancakes.
It is delicious over pancakes, that will be perfect!
This looks so good! When we were young we had blackberries too, I remember making jam with my mom and gran. They are so good!
Memories of cooking with mom and gran are the best!
I love being able to make delicious treats from produce that is grown right in our backyard. My son's current favorite book is If You Give a Moose a Muffin and the kid's mom in that book makes blackberry jam. I couldn't help but think of that when you mentioned the jam. Maybe the little guy and I need to make some blackberry jam together too!
Wow! That sauce looks amazing. My husband used to work for a chef who used to prepare a similar sauce but with blueberries. Then, he used it as a hamburger garnish.
ooooh, yum! I will have to try that!
Hi Carlee 🙂 This sauce looks delicious. I would like to try it with ice- cream for sure!
