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.
How to make it:
See full ingredients & instructions in the recipe card below!
Step 1. Cook blackberries, sugar and lemon juice in a non-reactive pan until the fruit is thawed.
Step 2. Add corn starch and cardamom and cook until the fruit is soft.
Step 3. Press the sauce through a sieve using a wooden spoon.
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:
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.
This recipe makes about ⅔ cup of sauce.
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge.
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.)
