  • About

This sauce is the very essence of Autumn and goes wonderfully with an apple pie. Make it 2 or 3 days in advance and store it in the fridge.

Ingredients

  • 1½ lb/675 g blackberries, thawed if frozen
  • 6 oz/170

Method

Put the blackberries into a saucepan with the sugar. Cover and cook gently until the blackberries are very soft, about 20 minutes.

Sieve the blackberries, and their juice, through a nylon sieve to make a purée. Add a little more sugar to sweeten, if necessary. Pour the sauce into a jug and serve hot or cold.
