How to Make Andy Husbands Hot Blackberries And Cream

  1. Preheat broiler to high. Position the oven rack 6 inches from the broiler element.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 cup sour cream (or crème fraîche), 1 teaspoon lime zest, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Gently fold in 2 cups fresh blackberries (or Maine wild blueberries).
  4. Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe gratin dish (approximately 6-inch).
  5. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon brown sugar evenly over the top.
  6. Broil for 1-3 minutes, rotating the dish halfway through, until the brown sugar is melted and caramelized. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
