|
Ingredients
|
- Blackberries - at least 200g, but as many as you want
- Sugar - whatever you've got in stock. You'll probably need 50g+ per 200g of blackberries, so start with a little and add more if it's still too sour
|
|
|
|
Method
|
- Wash the blackberries thoroughly in a large bowl of water, to remove any stray stalks or bugs.
- Drain well and put in a large, non-aluminium pan (aluminium seems to taint the flavour).
- Add the sugar and stir.
- Cover and heat gently for about 10-15 minutes. Mash slightly, if you want to break up the berries and thicken the sauce.
- Serve on waffles / ice cream / fruit salad / in yoghurt - use your imagination!

Apple & Blackberry Crumble
Apple and Blackberry crumble is a definitive autumn dessert. In this version, you save even more time by not peeling the apples or pre-cooking the fruit. |
|
Cosy Baked Stuffed Apples
This recipe was suggested to us by our good friend Gill in London. It's a really comforting "old-school pud" that you can play around with, and which also works brilliantly for breakfast times. |
|
Bramble & Apple Jelly
Go straight back to your childhood with this recipe, when you've been out picking wild blackberries and apples. |
|
Blackberry & Coconut Slice
All you need is some dessicated coconut, cake ingredients and a bowl of blackberries from the hedgerows. It doesn't matter if they're a bit tart - it adds to the flavour. |
|
Blackberry & Apple Syrup
This is a delicious way of preserving blackberries and cooking apples. It keeps well in sterilised jars or frozen in pots in the freezer. |
|
Blackberry Iced Tea
This is so refreshing, and is such a treat to serve with lunch and to take out with you on picnics. It’s also a great alternative to nasty fizzy drinks from the supermarket, especially when your kids helped pick the berries themselves. |
