Ingredients

7 ounces fresh blackberries
½ cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh squeezed
¼ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Place blackberries, water, lemon juice, and sugar in a medium-sized saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until blackberries become soft 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7 ounces fresh blackberries, ½ cup water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, ¼ cup granulated sugar
Now, gently smash the blackberries using a potato masher and cook until you get a thick, dark blackberries reduction, about 7-8 minutes. Stir often.
Once done, remove from heat, let it cool down, and pass the puree through the fine sieve over a large bowl if desired and discard solids. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

Easily double it to feed more or halve the recipe as needed.
Use this same method for other berries.
Use frozen berries in place of fresh in a pinch.
This freezes well, see my tips above on how to store.
Use a fine mesh strainer to strain out the seeds if desired.
