Why make this recipe?

This blackberry sauce is super simple to make and works magic on baked sweets.

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 happened with this blackberry sauce.)
