How to Make Blackberry Mush

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups fresh blackberries (or 3 cups frozen) and 1 cup of water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes, allowing the blackberries to soften and release their juices.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/3 cup cold water until a smooth slurry forms, ensuring no lumps remain.
  4. Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering blackberry mixture. Continue stirring constantly until the mush thickens to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup of granulated sugar (or to taste). Adjust sweetness according to your preference.
  7. Pour the Blackberry Mush into a 1-quart baking dish or similar serving bowl. Allow to cool completely before serving.
  8. Serve warm or chilled with cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
