Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blackberries
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon cold water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh blackberries under cold water and allow them to drain completely.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of water, and lemon juice. Stir to mix.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Allow the blackberries to cook for 6-8 minutes until they soften and release their juices.

Step 4

In a small bowl, make a cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of cold water until smooth and lump-free.

Step 5

Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering blackberry mixture, stirring constantly to avoid clumping.

Step 6

Cook the blackberry mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Allow the Blackberry Mush to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or chilled as a dessert topping, or enjoy it on its own.
