What's in the sauce?

This sauce is made with frozen blackberries, sugar, corn starch, lemon and ground cardamom. Cardamom is a very fragrant spice with a citrus flavor that works incredibly well with blackberries and other fruit. (It's delicious in this lemon cardamom cake and in these spiced raspberry Linzer cookies!)

NOTE: You can use fresh blackberries instead of frozen ones. Use the same amount.

Blackberry sauce uses:

  • Use this sauce as a topping for cheesecake.
  • Spoon the sauce onto waffles or pancakes.
  • Drizzle the sauce onto chocolate cakes and cupcakes. (It's very good on the chocolate mousse frosting of these mini chocolate cupcakes!)
  • Mix the sauce into yogurt.
  • Drizzle the sauce onto ice cream.

Frequently asked questions:

Should I serve the sauce warm or cold?

You can serve the sauce warm, at room temperature or cold. I personally think it's best warm on waffles and cold on cheesecake and other cakes.

How much sauce does this recipe make?

This recipe makes about ⅔ cup of sauce.

How should I store the sauce?

Store the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge.

Can I freeze this sauce?

Yes, I've tested freezing this sauce and it does fine. (Freezing can sometimes affect the texture of sauces thickened with corn starch, but I have not seen this happen with this blackberry sauce.)
