How to Make Stewed Blackberries

  1. Gently wash 2 cups of blackberries under cool water.
  2. Drain the blackberries in a colander.
  3. Place the drained blackberries in a medium saucepan.
  4. Add 1/4 cup of water to the saucepan, cover, and place over medium-low heat.
  5. Simmer the blackberries gently for 15 minutes, or until they have softened and released their juices.
  6. Gently stir the blackberries every few minutes to prevent sticking.
  7. Add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and a pinch of salt. If using very ripe berries, add 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice to balance the sweetness. Continue to heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  9. Serve warm or chilled. Enjoy plain, or topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
