Chef’s Secret

For maximum flavor in desserts, macerate fresh blackberries with a little sugar and a splash of lemon juice for 30 minutes before use.

Substitutions

Best Match

Raspberry

1:1

Similar tartness, sweetness, and seediness, excellent in most uses.

Blueberry

1:1

Sweeter and less tart, different texture but good for baking/jams.

Boysenberry

1:1

A hybrid with a richer, more complex flavor, good for desserts.

Cherry (pitted)

1:1

Sweeter, firmer, but can provide a similar dark fruit note.
