Blackberry Sauce

First mix together, 2 tsp cornstarch, 2 tbsp water

Add in 1 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice 

 Mix everything together and sit aside

In a small ceramic or Teflon coated sauce pan add in 12 oz of blackberries and 1/4 cup of sugar 

Sir together and cook over medium high heat for 3 minutes 

Stir frequently. This is what they look like after they have been cooking for about 2 minutes

After 3 minutes the berries should be breaking down and releasing their juices. Now its time to add in the cornstarch mixture. Make sure to stir the mixture again before pouring it in

Let it cook another 2 minutes until thickened. Stir often and break up the berries a little bit with the back of your spatula

Turn off the heat and admire that beautiful sauce 

Let it cool a couple minutes and then serve over your favorite dessert

 I served mine over vanilla ice cream. It is so yummy!

Put your leftovers into a glass container and store it in the refrigerator up to 10 days.

I actually packaged mine up in a mason jar, and added a label & some jute. We got invited to a friends house for dinner and I was in charge of bringing the dessert. This was such a fun way to share this delicious sauce. It was a huge hit and there wasn't a drop left! We served it over icecream and devil's food cake.
